City Park G.c.
Here's some pointers about the course we're competing at this weekend and how to play it:
Summary:
Very small greens on the front nine.
You don't want to be over any of the first four greens so play short to protect your score.
We are still playing SUMMER rules, so no changes to your ball in the fairway, unless it rains a lot Friday night but it's not supposed to...
The
C-T-P championship will be contested on holes 4, 7, 12, and 16. If there is no winner after hole #16, all players can hit one extra ball on #16 and the closest shot to the
hole will be the winner of the Carbon Blue Wedge!
Take a little extra time looking for each other's ball in the rough because there will be a lot of leaves all over...don't forget your cameras because this is the best time of year to see Fall Colors!
DETAILS:
Hole#1 - 400 - Protect against OB on your left; plenty of room on the right so favor it and remember the rough on the front is very playable! Small Green!

Hole#3 - 525 - Protect against OB on your left; plenty of room on the right so favor it and remember the rough on the front is very playable! Great undulating Green! - Eagle/Birdie hole minimum...advantage...$$$...
Hole#4 - 215 - Protect against OB on your left; plenty of room on the right so favor it and remember the rough on the front is very playable! Small Green! - Tough par 3 and remember par here has won a skin before...

Hole#6 - 365 - Protect against OB and trees on your left and lateral water on the right; Very small Green! - Dangerous green...difficult to read and very undulating...par is great here...
Hole#7 - 225 - Longest par-3 and very tough! Protect against trees on your left; Very small Green! - Don't go long here or double and worse is open...perfect for hybrid clubs...
Hole#8 - 315 - Wide open but don't lose control or you can give this easy hole away fast! Very small hard Green! - Play your approach short if the pin is close to the front. Driveable for the big guns...big advantage...$$$...last time, TAW missed an ACE on this par-4 by a foot!!!
Hole#9 - 365 - Very long, very straight hole. Protect against trees on your left and right; Very small Green! - Par here almost always wins a skin!
Hole#10 - 595 - Protect against huge trees on your right and OB; Giant green! Watch the three putts here! - Never have seen an eagle here...a birdie is almost guaranteed skin money!
Hole#11 - 565 - Protect against lateral water on your right; Giant undulating green! Watch the three putts here too! - A birdie is almost guaranteed skin money here but not always!
Hole#12 - 125/165 - Remember your tee assignments here: High handicapper's can tee off from either box. Low handicappers must use the back tee box! Wild green with an elevation difference of twenty feet from back to front! Careful putting here...!
Hole#13 - 355 - Wide open...except for that fairway bunker! The hole is over if you go in there! Risk/reward...think about your round and shots on the day before firing here...
Hole#14 - 360 - Protect against OB on your left. One of the very small greens on the back! Don't go over this green! Par usually wins $$$ here...
Hole#15 - 325/380 - Remember your tee assignments here: High handicapper's can tee off from either box. Low handicappers must use the back tee box! Careful of the two sand bar bunkers at the bottom of the hill because they are driveable! Another small green...birdie here is easy $$$...TAZ eagled last time!
Hole#16 - 210 - Very tough Par-3 especially late in the day. So straight it's scary so control your ball. Short front is best. Protect against shots to the right. Smallest green on the course so if you're on, you're almost done!
Hole#17 - 560 - Last chance for Par-5 $$$...uphill approach to a huge flat green. Protect drive against OB on the left (range). A birdie is almost guaranteed skin money here but not always!
Hole#18 - 405 - Great finishing hole! Protect against top part of range on your left (OB) and forest on the right. Giant undulating green! Watch the three putts here too! - One of the great finishing holes in all of Colorado!
Good luck! Have Fun! Be Safe! and...you want the BELT,...come and get it!!!
