How to shoot a good score on hole#17.
The eighteenth hole is a long, tight par 5 that doglegs a little bit left. This hole finally guides you away from the lake after playing 13 consecutive holes on the shores of Lake Fork. I feel like this is a spectacular finishing hole based on the year of tournaments. I have seen anywhere from an eagle three to 12’s,14’s, etc. In my opinion that is what a finishing hole should be, a player can be aggressive and if the player executes there is a reward, if not they could blow their chances. If the player is conservative they might make a bogey and the aggressive player could catch the conservative player. I also believe this is a pretty finishing hole with two lakes, the cattails, and the two water features, one at the tee and one at the green.
Now let’s talk strategy. The tee shot is crucial here with two ponds and a creek on the left and out of bounds on the right. I suggest using a long iron or fairway wood to just get one in play. Not bad it faded a little but you stayed in the right rough. Now the second shot is not as hard as people make it. Most people try to cut over the lake on the left and get it down there to 80-100 yards. All you need to do is hit a mid-iron right at the 150 pole. KEEP it down the right side, as long as you do not hit too much club you will have a nice angle into this green. Good shot you hit it a little right and have 130 yards left to the green. Now just take a club that will get you on the correct level of this two-tiered green. Great, you have a 30-footer for birdie. One last time, take your time to pick your line and than really focus on your distance. Great putt, your distance control finally paid off and you made a long one to finish off your round with a 7 over par 78. Birdie on the last hole will keep you coming back! The next few times you come back make sure you follow these course management tips and I believe your handicap will drop dramatically.
Good Luck!
