Great course to play... for the long hitters

Course Review and Comments

So, I have played the course at least a dozen times.To everyone who has difficulty with this course, and I am no exception, I have found that learning to putt better, choosing the CORRECT tee blocks, and not muscling up EVERY shot will improve your game. The first time I played the course, I had the wrong mentality when approaching it. I played form the Bronze challenge tees. this is where they reccomend you play the first time. Like I stated earlier, I hit the ball 275 in the air, this results in VERY long drives, albeit a little off line sometimes. I had a 24 handicap back then and got off the course with a 125, that's a 50 index for those who don't keap track. The problem was that I was thinning all my wedge shots, 3 and 4 putting almost every hole and loosing at least a ball on every hole. Most of the lost balls came form my distance. the next time I played I choose the silver tournament tees, this resulted in less balls throught the fairways on miss hits and less lost balls. I was still putting terribly, but I had brought my score down 10 strokes at the time. Now I feal more than confortable playing on their long Gold tees the championship tees. This fits perfectly for my game and if the wind will alow I can still cut certain dog leggs right off, but just bearely. it's very fun to play. this summer I played 88 89 91. from the golf tess these come out to 12 index, so I know this course can play to your handicap, the key is that you have to be on your A game and be willing to hit different clubs off the tee. I suppose that if you can bomb hits like m,yself, then you can play this course a little easier, afterall I would expect a john daly signature course to be geared to the big hitters, wouldn't you?
