Bogey holes

[HawkeyeMS]

I actually don't think bogey is a bad score on any hole. I'm gonna make bogeys, it happens and I could do it on any hole on the course. Just as long as I make more pars than bogies, I don't really care which holes I score what on.

Have you tamed the 15th yet ?

Yep, I even made par out of the left bunker the other week :thup:

No such thing as a bogey hole although it's taking a lot of self belief with our 6th hole to convince myself of that

Playing off 18, I would suggest all of them!!

10 and 14, if I get bogie it feels like birdie!!

Not sure if this is the original meaning of the post, but we have a short par 4 (#5 on our red set of 9) which has ruined my card many times.

It has a tee shot which rarely requires a driver (about 200 yards in the winter and 220 in summer) unless it's into wind. There is a large tree on the right hand side meaning left side is the only place to get a decent shot in.

There are a set of 4 bunkers in a row which go from the end of the fairway to the right edge of the green making a miss right or short sandy. The green is elevated and slopes back to front and steeply off the back where it's red staked. The pin is often right or left back making it more likely to need to play in under the pin and putt uphill.

It should be easy with the right shots, 200 yards favouring the left edge and then 100 yard wedge in.

However, I seem to very rarely par it and have only birdied it once.

I'v also ruined my card at least 3 times by:

- Shooting the tee shot long into one of the bunkers and then skulling it out and through the green.
- Hitting the tee shot right and being behind the tree, misjudging the height needed to go over it and hitting the tree, ending up behind where I started!
- Misjudging the wind and overshooting the green, ending up with an uphill 20 yard pitch from long rough, then either leaving it in there, or firing it back over the green into a bunker on the other side!

I hate that hole!

The 9th at my club has the nick name "armageddon". A 357 yard par 4 with water 20 yards before a raised two tier green. I parred it last week for the first time ever, after single putting. Apart from my par, I have only ever seen it done the once. Needless to say, the water contains thousands of balls.

If I play 3 very good straight shots on the first hole at my club, it leaves me a chip to the green. It's a par 4, and as yet I haven't seen it parred, but perhaps in the summer

Sounds like a beast, what course is it?

A bogey hole, what next!

There are a few tough holes where I play but I've never heard anyone call a hole a bogey hole :rofl:

Brilliant.

My bogey holes are generally the Stroke Index 1 hole and the Stroke Index 18 hole. The SI 1 hole is a very long par-4 over switchback terrain, with strategically placed bunkers to catch poor shots. The SI 18 hole by contrast is a short downhill par-4. Problems seem to be a downhill lie for your second shot, and a very hard (in the sense of being very firm) green which balls seem to bounce off into the rough at the back.

Our 10th is 460yds back into the prevailing wind and you get stopped cutting any length of the dog leg due to two 100ft trees 180 out.

The green isn't very big and is a difficult up and down if the green is missed either side or beyond.

5 is fine by me and look to pick one up elsewhere
