Sounds like Passaconaway in Litchfield, NH. Last year during round 1 of the New Hampshire Mid-Am the back 9 had 3 par fours playing longer than 460. One of them was like 485. And if you miss the fairway by more than 5 yards, play for bogey.
The pros have to be good at everything because the courses are so long. For us weekenders, if there’s one thing to be good at it’s the short game. Even if you only hit it 200 yards max, you can score by chipping and puttingwell.
You can hit it as far as you want, but if you can’t get ball in hole, it’s trouble.
Three easy way to lower score:
1. Do not hit it OB or in hazard.
2. Don’t chunk
3. Two putt everything.
(Hoping to get this to 98% this year)
If I ever shoot 125 I’m quitting the game. Average score last year was 77. Really hoping to get that down to 75 this year.
I’ve been hitting the simulator once a week to keep the hands warm.
