12 inches.

[AuburnWarrior]

Well, played in our 'Turkey Trot' today which was a Texas Scramble format so always difficult to truly reflect on how well one has played, however, I feel the need to share one particular hole with the forum.........

We started on the 5th hole so we'd already played 14 holes by the time we played the 1st.

Our 1st is 274 yards (yellow tee) and is a slight dog leg right. The green is hidden by a large bank that runs down the right of the hole - further obscured by large trees that grow on top of the bank.

I hit a cracking Driver which had a lovely shape of left to right. I had a feeling it would be near the green but, due to the recent wet weather, it'd get no roll.

How wrong I was!!!

The ball was 12" from the flag!!!

I then rolled in the eagle putt.

So, almost my first hole in one - and on a par 4!!!

We finished 4 under par and nowhere near the prizes.........

12 inches short?

Maybe if you were longer off of the tee..........?

I'd have been through the green.

Length isn't everything.........

 

[surefire]

if u could hit it 300 yards like everyone else here . . . .

Then he'd have been 26 yards away instead!

See its not always great being a big hitter!


On another note, does it sound better being 12" away instead of being 1 foot away?

12".

Same as 14 days sounds longer than a fortnight.........

When we played it I think I GPS'd it as 242yds to the front from the yellas. Sounds ideal for you

And it was wind behind.........

you obviously couldn't see the type of bird that it was that picked it up and dropped it near the hole because of the bank and trees

Or the dog walker giving it a good kick.

Ive never seen the dog walker do it, but I have seen the dog do it, unfortunately had to replace to original position

Probably a lucky bounce off a fairway sprinkler....

I dont know mate,no credit where credits due eh!!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Well played. Actually a good job it stopped where it did. Wouldn't you have been even more gutted if it had gone in and you'd not seen it

 

[USER1999]

I'm staggered that you still drive with that old seven iron.

 

[JustOne]

Joking aside that hole is made for you. You rarely lose a ball to the left so it's a stock fade at the green every time. Can't see the value in laying up there unless you have a tendency to hook it. Even where I went in that left greenside bunker isn't too bad.

How was the rest of your round?

No, you'd have played a 3 Wood and had an ace!!!

Great shot fella!

Texas Scrambles at our place are crazy with winning scores nearly always in the high 50's

 

[Imurg]

I think you underclubbed.......
