As there is no lay up I would be giving it a go.
Wonder how long the actual carry is from that back tee.

Driver and go for it, if it gets wet so be it, take the drop to clear the water, that could be a better position and lie than if you try to land on anther tee box and don't leaving you a horrible downward lie or worse and still be no better off!

Yeah I guess lying three towards the far end of the dogleg isn't too bad, maybe I should spend 1/2 an hour practicing my penalty drops before I play

Don't have the distance to hand but for the thread it doesn't matter the tee box or distance in yards
I'm playing this again on Sunday and have used both lay-up option and going for it option with mixed results for both. I just wanted to sanity check if I'm missing something
Do think your missing anything reckon you've got to go with nailing the driver over the aqua, if it doesn't come off drop on the red tee box least it will be short grass.
oops should of read the full thread ... Fish :thup:

I'm guessing you'll get a shot? - so I'd play it with a 6 as your objective. This means you can go for it off the tee. In the water? Drop and play up with your 3rd and on with your 4th. One putt for a 5 - two for 6 - so objective achieved by delivering to your plan for the hole. And playing to my plan for a hole usually satisfies me.

Try and get it out of the screws and find any dry area over the water off the tee... if I'm stroking anway, I'm not really losing out by taking the water on and still have a chance at par even if I find the drink.

What course is this from?
in this situation the only thing I would take from the tee is a bulldozer and redesign the hole.....

Lol, its called Legends although they're not likely to redesign the hole just to accommodate a short hitter like me, I don't doubt that when the Euro Seniors Tour visited they all managed to carry it from the back tees no problem

Behave, the only reason you'd hit into the water is so you can fish out 10 others whilst you're there!

I don't think the course design is a problem. There are plenty of tees to choose from if ego doesn't get in the way....

Agree, if it wasn't a society comp with tee's dictated I'd play this whole course off the yellows every time

Find out what the carry is off the backs out of interest.

I'll keep a scorecard and update on Monday
Plenty of my mates make it ok (plenty in the water too) & I'm pretty sure it wouldn't worry any forum hitters but it gives me the heebie jeebies so wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an option

I made the mistake of looking up the course on the web....

If it's the first hole, I'd make sure I went to the range first to assess if my driver is working or not! I'd only have a go if I'd driven well earlier on, no shame in laying up and playing the percentages.

Its alright I s'pose
I only get to play it about twice a year so not a course I can learn quickly and I lost 8 balls last time as 17 holes have water hazards and the one that doesn't has a tee shot down a hallway!

Is it OOB to the right or is there a nice shiny fairway?
