My apology - having an issue posting the pic. 

[Joe Bausch]

Send it along to me Bogey and I can host it.

[Mike Hendren]

Thanks Joe.  Sent (I think) to your myphilly address.

Elusive


Hopefully a manageable up and down...

[Mike Hendren]

Sully, that is one insightful comment as it is indeed the most elusive green I've ever approached. 


Also, when last there it took my 10 tries to get up and down from 5 paces off the green.

Elusive

If I ever play a Tom D course and come across a green I really don't like I'm going to describe it as 'elusive'.

I was planning on using 'jejune', but this is better

Is the line of play from the angle of the photo, Mike?

[Mike Hendren]

It is not, Joe.  Before I provide more context I just wanted to see what people thought at first blush.  More to follow.


Thanks for the assist.

No photo to view or click.

Hmmm it looks like a practice chipping green for there is no green surround with a fairway I can see? Looks very small as well.

Mow the approach and collar a little tighter and you might have something

An Old Dead Guy green, prior to a renovation?

As that song goes: 'it's a thin line between love and hate'.

With the exception of the greens this course is unirrigated and the surrounds you see are fairway cut.   I'd estimate the putting surface at 3800 square feet.


This is not a trick:  Do you like it based on what you see and nothing else?

Bogey

[MCirba]

It reminds me of the small, undulating greens at the nine hole Holyoke Golf Club (CO) I played earlier this year.  They were tough targets and difficult to get up and down once missed

[JESII]

I'd say it looks perfect.


Small, and set slightly askew to the fairway (presuming we are middle of the green and off to the left) so the ball will want to be coming in from the left (either left side of the fairway or with shape). Looks like a bunker along the right side, front half of the green, further accentuating the value of the left side.


Raised slightly above surrounds so water runs off and away. Look how healthy the green looks!


Looks like an "easy bogey if you want but to make a par you'd better hit good shots"...kind of green to me.

[Jeff_Brauer]

If this is what is celebrated as great design now, I think I'll just have to retire.  Obviously, there may be some great subtleties if I played it, but visually, it's a big bag of nothing.

Nope.

Mike

Looks good to me. What's the issue Bogey?

Ciao

[Mike Hendren]

There is no issue, Sean.  I'll update tomorrow, but it is the most difficult 300 yards hole I've come across and it's home sweet home.  I love it.


Bogey

[Adrian_Stiff]

Really crap.

[Mike Worth]

My first thought is to ask who’s backyard is this?
