That One Hole

[hombre_paulo]

So which is that one hole you struggle to play well every time? And why?

For me its the 6th at Dudsbury. Its fairly innocuous, no real trouble to speak of unless you fluff your tee shot, but for some reason I cannot score well on this hole. I can hit the purest of tee shots finding the fairway and then it all goes to pot, maybe its because its all uphill from there, maybe its the two fairways running either side so you often have an audience. Who knows, I cant figure it out.

Whats yours?

I can manage to find a way of mucking any hole up but our 6th, only 178 yards long had the hex over me for a while and kept hooking OB left or slicing OB right. Just tell myself these days I've made pars on it and I'm due a good score and make a relaxed swing.

All 18, at one time or another, have been my Achilles heel...
Can't think of any one hole that I can virtually guarantee to play well every time..

Strangely, having played at least 1 rubbish shot on most holes yesterday, I just missed a birdie on my nemesis hole yesterday!

A great putt saved a bogie!! on my other one too, after 2 really good shots to start! And SI18 has become a bit of a pain too!I think I've Par-ed it once in the last 8 or so rounds, though a couple of Birds and an Eagle!

It used to be the tenth at our place - for 3 years in our ecelectic it was the only hole that i couldnt get a par on !!

The first medal after the ecelectic ended i birdie the thing !

Our 4th hole can be a mare to me. Its a par 3 over water with trees left. The thing is I go through stages of parring it every week or double bogie or worse every week. I never settle into a round until after that hole...

Mine was at old club par 5 12th. Could drive straight all day, then stand on tee and think don't go right don't go right. You guessed it sliced into trees.the hole was either a par or an eight.

The 11th at Lanark and I'd rather not talk about it :rofl:

 

[chrisd]

Any hole at mine can wreck a card but I find that I'll play one badly for a few weeks then that'll go fine and a different one becomes the nemesis hole

 

[USER1999]

Our 16th. A 180 to 200 yard blind par 3. I have shanked it 4 out of the last 5 times I've played it. It owns me. I can be playing fine, and then the big clank.

Our 14th its a wedge, nothing hard about the hole at all yet I am never on the green. Normally way left with a horrid pitch or in the bunker. Today I went so far left I lost the ball.

Hate the hole with a passion.

10th at Easter Moffat just doesn't suit my eye, internal OB down the right and trees down the right at 200 yards with a dog leg right at 250 yards. Not long by any means at under 350 but a four for me is always a good result, tough tee shot for a slicer.

Then there is the 10th at Wallasey, a god awful hole

Probably because the approach shot is blind. Personally I think that the 14th is much harder, especially from the blue tees. 470 yard par 4.

 

[Smiffy]

For me, it's the 5th at Blackmoor.
Lost count of the number of times I've played it and buggered it up.
I scored my first points on it about 3 weeks ago.
5 for 2. I'll take that

Currently this is the nemesis

Par 5 SI 2

Like many amateurs I have a fade if its a good shot and a slice if it goes wrong, this means the hole can be over often before I leave the teeing ground

With any fade or left-right shot shape the line from the whites is directly towards tall trees about 80 yards in front of tee (its far narrower than the pic looks)



If you do drive onto dry land you then have to stay left until close enough to attack the green which sits raised by about 40ft above the fairway and slops in three directions into red stake areas, so just holding the green is tough

Me no like this hole!

edit, distances in meters

I used to have a problem with the 3rd on the Old course at Leckford. Only a 9 iron but it took me about 20 attempts to par it. Then i parred it twice in a row.

Always have a problem with the 9th on the Embley course at Wellow. There's a pond directly in front of the green and i never seem to take enough club!

 

[MashieNiblick]

Our 12th for me. Narrow fairway with bunkers left and right at driving distance and an oblique approach to an undulating green. Mostly miss the fairway. When I hit the fairway I mostly miss the green and when I hit the green I mostly 3 putt. Only made 4 pars there all year in comps. One of those was as a result of missing a 2 ft putt for a birdie. That hole is out to get me!

A close second is our 18th. Dog-leg par 5. Usually no problems with the drive or second but however close or far back I lay up I always seem to dunk my third into one of the bunkers guarding the front of the green.

 

[Marshy77]

The 10th at Hollins Hall, in all the times I've played it I've never scored a point. Down hill tee which is a fairly simple hit but seem to always mess up, probably because I struggle so much on the hole. Every shot then is normally above your feet which again throws me.

 

[One Planer]

7th at my gaff is definitely my bogey hole as that's all I ever score on there (... Or worse)

212 yard par 3.

Bunker at the front.

And (High) trees covering the front 2/3's of the green from left to right.

The ideal way to get at it is a high, slinging draw taking the trees out of play.

I usually take my 4 woods and try and hit it high over the tree tops, but more often than not I catch the trees and the ball drops 60 yards short of the green.

When I do get the ball over, provided I miss the bunker I usually walk off with par.

16th at my place... with a card in my hand anyway, bounce game its par or birdie.

420 yard par 4 with the widest fairway on the course though its semi blind. always hit a poor drive. 2nd shot is over a burn with 3 bunkers just the other side so no scuffs make it to the green.

Ive stood on the 16th tee more times than i care to remember level par Gross, and make a pigs ear of it on this hole.
