Target achieved...

[Lump]

After being a member for 2 years at my club I've finally done it.... Its totally pointless and only happened due to a sizable back wind.

I finally drove our par4 17th.
Off the forward yellows it plays 340yrds downhill, late last year they removed a ditch about 40yrd short of the green. I've been hunting the green since. Was nice even if it only happened due to a good gust. Got it down for a eagle too. Walking off toward the 18th tee giggling away to myself with just how easy this game is at times.

Nice one Lump.

We don't really have any genuinely drivable par 4's. The shortest is only 320 yards but there's a copse of trees to go over (240+ carry) so most "lay-up" and go round. The only other one is 340 yards but it's flat. With a gale behind it's probably reachable in the Summer but the wind's normally across or into your face.

Good one at Wycombe Heights. 340 downhill (18th) - or should that be down mountain........
Reachable with a 3 wood.

Nice hit with a 3 iron

good hit getting it down there, was only saying similar last week we have a perfect hole at our place to make a genuine drivable par 4 but I would bunker it to make it a proper challenge of hitting the green.

Played Wycombe Heights a few times never got it on the green on the 18th, not for lack of trying. Made it between the bottom 2 bunkers once.

We have one real drivable hole. Our 17th isnt drivable in normal conditions. But our par4 8th is 250yrds from the yellows. Very drivable but has alot of things to make you decide other wise. OOB to the right tight to the green. A green side bunker and a ditch 10yrds sort of the green. There is no rolling it onto the green, you've got to carry it all the way. In the winter its a nice steady swing on the driver. In summer is a strong swing with a 3iron

Nice hit and great to sink the putt too!

Strange decision to remove the ditch making you think about the tee shot?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Our 4th is the only realy driveable par 4 and that has a large fairway bunker slap bang in the middle some 60 yards short and does a brisk trade with the big boys trying to get there.

It didnt add anything to the hole. It made what is a really good drive a bad one. In the summer if you hit a decent drive it could roll into the hazard quite easily.

It was there so people had to think about what to hit off tee yes if you hit driver too well you went in it if people took 3 wood hit a belter not in it now it's gone it's made a hard hole a lot easier IMHO

300yrd tee shot easy? OK.

Imurg am I right in thinking that is 6th hole at Aylesubry Park ? Just realised we play the same course !

 

[beggsy]

Like you said lump downhill in summer will catch many out not now made the hole easier

Certainly is.
Is this a record? - that's at least 5 of us on here now...

 

[Jack991]

I think it probably is ! Good little course for what you pay

300yrd tee shot easy? OK.

You know it lad. 2 iron on a good day.....:whoo:
