Name, Handicap and Home Club.
Paul Richards, currently a 12
at Beverly CC in Chicago.
Describe,
1. Whats the toughest hole on your home course? why?
The toughest hole is the fifteenth. A really strong four par, it plays over 460 from the back tee. The driving area is really tight due to the trees and the ball generally lands on a downslope that helps kick it left, unless you really whollop one and get it all the way to a flat spot at about 300 yards from the tee. Then the approach is to a large green, but it slopes from front to back and right to left, so it's tough to get it close. A five is often a very good score here!
2. Whats the easiest? why?
The easiest is probably the first hole as it only plays about 340 and follows Donald Ross' philosophy of letting the golfer get out of the gates with an easy one and building up to the tougher holes you will soon encounter.
Also,
3. What is your toughest personal scenario off the tee?
For some reason I have a hard time on the 13th tee because it is a blind tee shot over a large hill and has out-of-bounds along the right side. It shouldn't really affect me since I tend to hook the ball, but for some reason I end up hitting a big balloon right here!
i.e Water down the right, wind off the left etc etc narrow fairway?
and finally,
4. Whats the toughest shot in golf for you to execute?
The toughest shot for me is usually a chip that needs to get up-and-down. I went to the Dave Pelz 3-day school and he made my crappy chipping even worse!
But he did improve my putting.
I'll explain later, you'll be interested.
