Course Management and 'Having a Plan'

[Aztecs27]

Looking at that picture I would probably consider either:

A, 160yds from the tee to the right half of the fairway.
or,
B, Driver over the left side of the right hand pond.

I'd probably try the later most often. But then again, like I said before, I do like to go for the more extravagant/risky shots.

The tee is in line with the left hand lake/pond (right hand lake looking at the picture), so going over the right hand pond would probably only suit if you have a massive, high power draw (just FYI, incase you ever play here!: grin.

Safer going up the wrong fairway?

What course is that? Looks nice.

Choice A it is then

No chance of that if you want a clear shot into the green and either way you'll have water to contend with!

It's Thornbury GC, near Bristol. It's not bad at all really.

Its a good strategy IMO to play prudently in Medals, go for the safer solid shot rather than the risky shot. If you want a very general strategy that isnt all defensive then divide the 18 holes into 3 groups of 6 holes - the hard, medium and easier. Play the hard ones very safely, attack the easier ones, and just play the medium solid. Reducing the horror scores on the ough holes in a medal will help a lot, and allow you to have a go at the easier holes.

Very usefull strategy and this is something I am tryign to build up now. My intention is not to play boring golf, just eliminate the horror scores when playign a risky hole

How far to carry the far edge of the furthest bit of water?

Which bit, the bit that "sticks out" into the fairway?

Sorry, not very clear.
What I meant was how far would I have to carry the ball so that it doesn't get wet no matter how far offline I spray it?

erm...280ish for left hand (right hand in the pic) water and 300+ for the right hand water.

Roughly.

Depends on where the tee markers are.
