....... More a question on how you've changed your course management during the current dry spell we're having.
Are you following suit as per The Open and taking less club off the tee on longer holes? Or are you adjusting what you lay up to? Or your club selection into greens?
At our course it's quite strange. The fairways are bone hard, the greens are pretty firm too, but aren't fast to putt on. The will hold a ball if hit into correctly but there are some strange bounces out there.
I'll be honest on longer holes I haven't really changed club, more what I hit into a green. Perhaps I should. Our first and tenth holes both pay up hill and have a drainage ditch running across the end, about 75 yards short of the green. Usually I'm a good 50 yards back from theses with driver, but yesterday left my drive on the 1st about 15 yards back of it. Off the 10th I actually hit the ball into the ditch!!!
Usually I wouldn't mind, but I'm generally no where near these. I managed to walk off the hole with bogey, after taking a drop, so no real damage done on my way to 79.
When I got home, out of sheer curiosity, I used Google Earth to get a rough measure of how far it was.
And...
It shouldn't be in play at that distance even for me!!! They were absolutely flush out of the middle of the driver face, but still....
4 wood next week for me
How are you guys finding it? And how are you adjusting your game?
