Inspired by @the_dude... here is another testy hole for you my friend.
This is the 3rd @ Woodstock Country Club, an RTJ layout in Vermont. It’s a short Par 4 at 370 yards bisected cleanly a brook that offers dramatic risk/reward.
Any drive short of the brook is played from 175+ out to a green that is highly elevated about 40+ feet from the fairway. OB behind the green and left, with left misses sloping hard toward OB up by the green. It is a legit 3 shot hole for many mid to high handicaps due to the elevation change from 175+ out alone, leaving a blind wedge up a steep hill.
A perfectly placed carry of 220-230 will reach the approach fairway with an easy short iron or wedge. But it’s an arrow thin window with OB left and creek fading away from you right.
Go!
