These holes play very different. Wish they had a picture for the gold tee - it's a blind right-turning shot.

From the silver I just throw a straight Roc up the gut.

From the gold I throw a Roadrunner (or a beat Destroyer, whichever is in the bag at the time) on an extreme anhyzer around the inital bend in the fairway to lay down a roller, then lay up from there. Definitely need a spotter.
 
Here are the two fairways for the basket from the silver tee to help out those that haven't played here before:

The hole plays downhill. The straight up the gut shot (left route) is tighter, but has a greater chance of reaching the basket. The RHBH hyzer line is more open, but it's very difficult to get to the basket this way (requires a high floaty shot that stalls/carries far left).

Good info, Notroman!

Based on that, I'm thinking Comet or Leopard on the straight line from the short.
 
I don't recall how I played screwed this hole up when I played here but, I do remember loving LL Silver. :thmbup:

soft focus x3
soft focus x4
Watching Russel tee off before me, I realize that's probably the smartest way to play a hole like this. I'll follow suit subbing my Challenger for his Focus.

Gold- tern, or roc if it was during a tournament.
Silver- Crave on the hyzer route.
 
Both RHBH with a Viper on the hyzer line.
