Thoughts on #13:
Unique golf hole. Since I tend to pull tee shots, the play for me is to aim between the short left-center bunker and the left edge of the big long bunker. I tend to pull it a bit, hopefully by the little bunker and down into the swale. Every now and then, I will bust one and it wiill get through the swale.
From the back tees, given correct winds, you can get home in two, and it is a fun shot, trying to fade a fairway wood into a green which favors such a shot. However, it is generally a less interesting hole from 510 yards for a player of my caliber (middle age 3ish), as the bunkering and width come into play from the 430 yard tee box.
About 50% of the time I am left with a 145-165 yard shot from an uphill lie in the swale. This to a green with a big right bunker and a green with a huge ridge separating the front from the right of the green. Plays to either side of the green are heroic in nature; the uphill lie wants the ball to go left. Long is a good play for most pins, but the front pin, the birdie pin, demands a short play. The front pin is fun to play, because you know you've got a good shot at birdie from the fairway.
The hardest pin location to birdie must be the short right pin, down in the trench behind the bunker, don't you think? Another hard pin here is the plus-a-couple pin in the middle, on top of the green. Has anybody ever birdied that? I've made a bunch of fours with that pin, but you can't sleep a minute.
Ready to break out the bunny for #14.
