[12 piece bucket]

I'm making a effort to get this thread back to topic. Much like poker, you can make exactly the correct play and have it turn out wrong and you can make the wrong play and have it work. My idea in starting this thread was to offer an arena to consider the play of a hole like they do about the play of a hand of poker. All you can do is get your money in good. It could be a discussion of a hole at your course that you find difficult. It could be help in assigning a cause to a particular shot. OK and I often run through a debriefing of the day's action over dinner.

OK . . . I got a hole at my home course that is #1 or #2 handicap and its a short one but really tight. Dawgleg right with a pond on the right that snakes into the driving area about 230 or so out or so. The fairway slopes left. The pond makes the corner really tight. It can be tough a tough hole to bust a drive because there is OB all down the left side and a creek with trees and junk. So if you can carry the pond which runs away from you at the corner . . . you can go through the fairway. If you push it the carry gets longer. You can hit about any club you want from the tee. Even a 6 iron. But then you have a tough second from about 175 to 150 that plays a club longer. The green has flickdid slope on it and the pond comes in to play on the second shot more the farther you lay back on the fairway. It is a short hole but diabolical. If you don't hit it in the fairway . . fahgiddaboutdit. The if you don't get it close get ready to 3 jack. Hit it long you may hit it over the green back into the pond.

I can't figure out how to get it in play of the tee . . . it's got my mind all up in its clawz. Too much bad history at the hole.
