There was a photo in an issue of Links (I think) back several years ago of a little par 3 over a pond in a serene garden setting, backing up to the clubhouse, I’m pretty sure it was an English club - an older one. I tore out the page and filed it, rather poorly obviously as I cannot locate it now and it bums me out because it is a really neat looking hole with a lot of character to it.
The cool thing about this hole was that it was only 100 yards or so in length. Maybe it was 125, I can’t remember. Some notes I made in reference to the design of the hole specify 100 -125. This is a hole I’d not only like to play, but a hole concept I’d like the architect to try to fit into the design of a course of my own some day.
Any examples of a cool 100-125 yard par 3 over a pond that come to mind? And if you can identify my mystery hole, I’d like to buy you a beer next time I see you.
Also, what are some ways to create strategy within this type hole, where the player is simply swinging a wedge, maybe 9 at most across a small pond from 100 - 125 yards?
Thanks,
Eric
