Hole #17 at Old Colony.

It’s a straightforward par 3, 191 from the back (I’m old so I play 154 from the whites)

It’s got a big swale in the middle of the green, so if you’re spinning the ball it’s very difficult to get to a back pin position.

My way to play it is a bunt fade with a 6 iron. Land it on the front, and let the contours of the green take the ball to the hole.

It’s not a terribly difficult hole, but I’ve flirted with ace #10 several times playing it that way. I’m going to get it one of these days

For 154, I’d have to hit a 6 iron with the center of the face.

Sounds like an ace is going to happen there for you, but work on your luck. Luck is often neglected in golf practice, but I’ve found it to often be the best part of my game.

I’ve got 9 already, I’d say I’m pretty good on the luck part

I think we could pound some beers, laugh a lot and hit a good shot every once in a while together !
