It's funny to read somebody else's guide to a course you know well.
A few more points might be helpful.
"The fourth doglegs left up the hill, not right". A drive up to left shortens the hole.
On 8, I'd hit driver to leave a shorter iron to the green. There is a pond left of the green that cones into play if you've a long iron in.
"The out of bounds Charlie mentions on 1,2, 11 and 13 are well out of the way. I don't think they neeed to be considered."
There are internal out of bounds in the dogleg left of 12 and right of 14 which can come into play if you try cut the corners.
I like 14. There is no advantage to cutting the corner as you are left with a sloping lie. A hybrid off the yellows or 3 wood off the whites straight down the middle is the shot.
Many of the holes are uphill or downhill, rarely flat and you need to factor that into club selection.
Enjoy your day.
Charlie giving out wrong details.... now that is just dirty tactics

Well what can i say a great course with superb greens for this time of the year, a big thank you to my little girl who handed me a srixon ball on thursday telling me it was a " lucky ball daddy" well was she right when i chipped in on the 3rd for for a two, i think half the course heard my celebration cheer and then i managed to get some lucky bounces off trees on at least three drives only to finish the round with the same ball.
I would also like to thank macker for his puttting advice on the par 5 6th helped me focus on the back nine
.
The Champ was still recovering from paddys days celebrations so never really got in the mix but 3 putt was let down by his putting luckily i did'nt realise how close he was with 37 pts or i'am sure i would of bottled it:eek:.
Thanks to ballyk as roadrunner said for making a long journey without playing, hope your wrist injury gets better some captain.0 -

Myself and Dylan had a great day playing with 2 gents in spacecoyote and breaks80. Glasson is obviously a top course.
Congrats to Tigerwood, great score in those conditions.
Spacecoyote recovered well from a bad start and played some lovely shots.
Break80 is a very consistent player and was so unlucky on a couple of holes with mystery lost balls which probably cost him the win.
Highlight for me was a 6 iron to the 120 yd 15th to 10 ft for birdie. (yes 6 iron
Special thanks to captain Ballyk for organisation and commitment.

Cheers Lads,
Great outing. Thanks a million to ballyk for organising it. I know a lot goes into it in the background.
Looking at the weather today wondering where on earth that was on Saturday!0 -
Another successful boards day out. Thanks to El Capitane for squeezing me in at the last minute.
Played around with Break80 & the Father-son combo of Acalmenvoy & dylanmc30.
Was a long round of golf, we were about 5hrs 30mins out there, but the company was enjoyable, which helped pass the time. That length of time is definitely too long though. I think a push on 3-balls wherever possible should be aimed for going forwards.
A part of the delays was really down to how soft the ground was. Poor old Break80 suffered the worst from this. I've never seen a man lose as many golf balls that should have been in plain sight. It easily cost him probably 5/6 points over the course of the round, and was a cruel way to lose out on vital points. As Acalmenvoy mentioned earlier, Break80 is a very steady golfer, he did very little wrong throughout & kept his scorecard ticking over nicely.
Acalmenvoy hit a great ball in on the NTP & rolled his putt confidently into the middle of the hole. Is not the longest hitter, but another steady golfer, who's scorecard probably should have reflected a better total.
Dylanmc is new to the game, I think playing his 6th/7th round of golf ever. He seems to have a good attitude towards things & didn't let his bad holes get to him, which is a great place to be starting from. He hit a couple of cracking irons in when he got into his rhythm, & was a steady putter, a little firmer & a lot more putts would have dropped. As with everyone starting out, it'll take time.
As to me, I played some pretty decent golf, mixed in with some awful stuff. Made 2 really nice birdies (none for 2s, but both were on holes where I had a stroke, so I picked up 4 points for each of them). The holes that cost me weren't down to bad shots (mostly
), they were primarily down to bad decisions. I under-clubbed badly on 3/4 holes, and all of them were costly. Finished with 33 points & could very easily have been 4/5 points better and putt a bit of pressure of the winner.
The course has some lovely holes & some beautiful views out over the lakes at the elevated points. A pity about the wet & wind.
As to the winner...I think we need to start looking at implementing ESRs in the society. I never trusted that Tiger fella
Cheers again Captain for the commitment & for another great course choice.
See you all again lads0 -
