Barton Creek 5th hole

[Harpo]

Roy, don't know how you or some others can reach the par 5 in two to eagle it. Tried a few times in practice and I have to hit a perfect overswing only to get it into the rough to the left of that green. I have not seen any other eagle from pro or ammy yet to do it but the week is young. I decided to play this event in Elite this week. Gosh, forgot how much further I have to aim with my second shots. Two no wind rounds so far with only a couple of bad holes.

I didnt reach the green. I never even try but I always play to get into chipping range and this time the chip wewnt in LOL. 2nd round the chip did a 360 lip out

Elite sounds fun I'll see you there later

driver punch - i notch back fully overhit to the end at 3 o'clock, aim for very left side of fairway where it will roll down most of the slope giving a slight downhill lie on 2nd shot. Then 3 wood FLOP, fully overhit to the end at 3 o'clock.

only adviseable in Ammy mode tho

EDIT: round 2 hole 5 ....... nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck

I doubt there's one person who would agree but Elite is THE best way to play this game. I rarely play it now, as nobody else does, as the competion isnt there. Plus I'm getting old so the easy stuff in terms of scoring ,pro and ammy , is the way to go.

Like you its hard to judge how far you have to aim from sloping lies. Hard to believe at times. My attempt on the first just about stayed on the green ! Then my approach on the par 5 8th was a 6 iron. I was carefull to aim a lot further right than I actually believed was necessary. Missed the snap earlier by a hair and went into water on the left... by a long way.
Played very well overall , especially making putss then again 18 missed a fraction early and was luck to see the ball in play. Another par on a par 5. Got lucky on the par5 15th where I allowed too much but saw the ball bounce to 5 feet from the slope on the right of the green.
