What size are your shoes and are they left + right or right + left?

My FJs come as a Left + Right, I thought I should get a Right + Left ones when I got the Pumas.
It all depends on which socks I have.

I don’t have any gumboots

You do have Dunlop Volleys as backups…….usually after range session.

The fourth is something like 125m to the front all the way up to 160m to the back.
Club selection will be key here, with the ‘best’ miss being short left.

Five is driver as long on the topside of the fairway as possible. The best line in is from the bunker, but that is lower and not really actually that much better than on the topside. That will leave something like 130odd to the front, plus the length to the pin. Short may well be the best miss here, but if I have 8 iron I don’t want to miss anyway.

6th is hybrid on the advice from Upnin, there isn’t a great benefit in taking on the central bunker. Hybrid here will leave lob wedge to whatever length the pin is on.

The 16th, shown on the top of those holes is a great one, the temptation here is to try and rip it around close to the tree for a shorter shot in, but the way this funky green has the canyon through the guts of it running across, you want to be coming into is as straight as possible. This green will cost me some additional shots

When you’re playing the third, pay particular attention to the wind direction, as it will dictate the teeshot on four. There can often be two clubs difference, and it’s not always apparent standing on the tee as the trees left act as a buffer to the teeing ground. Unless it is a strong south-easterly wind, you will need to shape a shot to this green. Greenside bunkers are preferable to anything wider, and yes, short left makes for an easier recovery usually with a putter. It is a big green though, and therefore should not be a real challenge to a player of your obvious talent

Doubt there’ll be much run on the fifth when we play, and unless it’s straight down breeze, driver down the right or three wood down the left are the options. Don’t quite agree with your summation about the better line in – I think left is far better although potentially not a clear view due the height of the big bunker. If you can smash one level right or even past then you’ll only be hitting wedge.

Agree with you on the tee shot for six. Just remember the green is like concrete and runs away, and anything short will not bounce on. If the pin is front left good luck – as stupid a pin placement as you’ll ever see (like front right on the fourteenth).

You lost me there for a moment going to the sixteenth. The line is driver straight at the first right hand bunker which will give you the best line in, no matter the flag location. A hooked drive will generally roll past the large fig left leaving just a PW to 8 iron depending on whether the flag is front or back. As for Clayton’s Crack, it would be a fairer design with holding bent greens for mere mortals who are hitting far more than wedges. The actual landing zone on the front of this green is about three metres wide. Miss left and you’ll most likely be putting, as what little grass is there grows straight into you making for a very difficult chip. Miss right and your ball will always roll into the longer rough on that side which makes for a difficult recovery to a hard green, and a bump and run attempt is hard to judge due to the greenside grass on that side having a lot more cushion. A good drive makes for a much easier second and a definite birdie chance.

By this hole, you are out of ‘cap anyhow…….:)

15 (3×1) and 11 (3W 1×1) = 26 Need a few more rounds like this to get some shots back for the upcoming match.

I reckon option 2 for sure. You don’t want to turn up shy and retiring – you would feel beige all day. Be true to yourself.

Beige……ah yes, brings to mind the difference between a prostitute, a lover and a wife. The prostitute thinks faster, faster, the lover thinks slower, slower, and the wife thinks beige……I think I’ll paint the ceiling beige.

Mr Upnin, is the course playing all 1-18 at the moment?

Why yes……..yes why?

Merely a simple question from a simple man.

Last time I played, the first was out for a full reno and little par 3 was in play.

All good, now I know my thoughts and planning are not in vain, yet, until I have to actually hit the ball.

I’m still waiting to see your strategy for holes 4 through 18………I have you at at least 2 over so far based on your strategies for holes 1 through 3.

Oh, and the run you were alluding to………..is getting less and less as I listen the rain tumble down……..

List of things to do on a day off.
1. Sort out what to wear in 3 week’s time.

I have option 1 and option 2a and option 2b.
Come at me with your thoughts

I’m conscious of the standard of dress code and rightful expectations of being well attired, so I think I have already made my decision. I’m still keen for input from a couple of you whose opinion I respect.

Ready to!

Go for Option 3 and wear the bedspread.
