On Google Earth it looks to be around 185 yards to carry the water, if I've got the right hole?
Beautiful course btw, I'm with Karen and very jealous!

'stroking'? that's a new one on me - eeek
Must be a Scottish/West Lothian colloquialism then..

Very few holes on any course here that are adjacent to other fairways for a left/right miss, there's one on Le Paradis GC that has a longish carry that I use the fairway of the hole I've just played and that works quite well

Sounds about right, I'm 190ish for a really good shot

So a seven iron for me should carry the water easily then :thup:

In that case then I would suggest that the margin for not hitting a really good shot is too tight and you need your plan 'B' as the likelihood is its going to get wet!
Personally the way I am hitting driver at the moment I would hit hybrid off the tee, which would comfortably make the carry.

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
What is the point of this thread? If you can't make the carry, play off a more forward tee!

Knew there was a reason i didn't put distances on this thread
I made it across last time by about 8 yards so its doable for me but there's a few times I've needed to drop too

Ah is that how you get a low handicap, just pick and choose the tee box your group fancies
It might be a society comp but its still a comp

Then I would be having a word with the society organiser. Absolutely pointless playing off tees where people can't make the carry and have no bail out option.

I'll do that but the bigger hitters are in the majority so have a louder voice than me (as the majority should) as I said earlier I just wanted to make sure I make the best of the hole for me

I really don't like holes like this. Just forces you into a shot that strategically you wouldn't normally take on. Reward is only for the big hitters with no real alternative for the shorter hitters. No bail out is just very poor design to me. Have they a contract with lakeballs.com btw?
Tbf if a group are deciding to play off the back tees I don't think the designers are at fault for having a 190 carry.
If there were no shorter tees fair enough. But 190 isn't mahoosive when playing a course at full length.

Is this the legends course in Africa with the impossible 19th?

I'm sure I'm disliked by some folk for less than that
Is it weird that from time to time I still hanker after a game back on the munis I played in Cowdenbeath/Kirkcaldy
