This includes fossils of several palm fronds & even footprints from a Triceratops. Definitely not something you see everyday! 😳 Since the fossils are environmentally protected, it means a lot of the sandstone slabs have to stay in place, making this hole extremely challenging because the slabs take up a ton of room in the landing areas in the fairway & especially by the green, which is almost completely surrounded by sandstone. I decided to go with driver because the hole actually opens up a bit once you get past the first sandstone slab at about 350. I aimed at the left edge of the fairway & played a cut, hitting a beautiful drive up the right side of the fairway & in perfect position, leaving myself a great angle into the green, 160 yards out. I hit a flighted pitching wedge for my 2nd shot to control spin, but left the face open & missed the green to the right, setting up a chip back up the hill. I then hit a bump & run with the sand wedge & judged it beautifully, hitting it to a foot, securing a great birdie! ⛳️ What’s your favorite dinosaur? 🤔 1st shot: Power fade up the right side 2nd shot: Flighted pw from 160 yards missed to the right 3rd shot: Chip with the sand wedge to a foot 4th shot: Tap-in for birdie 🐦

3 months agoThis is the longest par 4 I’ve ever played! 🤯🤯 At over 600 yards, hole 10 at RainDance National is nothing short of insane. Everything about it, from its sheer length, to the view from the tee makes this an unforgettable golf hole! 🔥🔥 Obviously with this being a 600 yard par 4, it was bombs away off the tee! I aimed at the fairway bunker on the left side, and played a power fade off of it, hitting an absolute rocket up the middle of the fairway that also got some roll, coming to rest almost 450 yards from the tee, leaving me 157 yards to the flag. As if this hole wasn’t hard enough, the pin location was on the back shelf, just a few feet away from a huge ridge that would run the ball off the green if I missed left at all. I tried to play a flighted pitching wedge to the right center of the green to get it on the proper shelf, but pushed it right. Fortunately I missed in a good spot, and had a fairly simple chip back up the hill that I ran about 6 feet past the hole, and then I was able to roll in the 6 footer to make a great par! 💪🏻 I’ll tell ya, this was definitely one of the best pars I’ve ever made! What really helped was using course management on my 2nd shot & ensuring that my miss would be to the right, and not the left. It’s amazing how much easier it gets to score when you utilize good course management & think one shot ahead. What score are you making on this hole? 🤔 1st shot: Power fade with the driver ripped up the middle 2nd shot: Flighted pw from 157 yards missed to the right 3rd shot: Chip with the sand wedge to 6 feet 4th shot: Rolled in the 6 footer for par ⛳️

3 months agoHole 1 at Promontory Golf Club is one of the craziest holes I’ve ever played! Over 700 yards long with multiple fairways, several water hazards, and an incredible backdrop at over 7,000 feet of elevation 🔥🔥 Decided to get aggressive off the tee & rip driver to carry it onto the 2nd fairway, and then I hit a really solid 7-iron that missed just left of the green, and got up & down for a really good 4 ⛳️ How would you play this hole? 🤔 1st shot: Power fade with the driver onto the 2nd fairway 2nd shot: 7-iron from 263 yards out pin high just left of the green 3rd shot: Chip with the lob wedge to 4 feet 4th shot: Rolled it in for the birdie 🐦
