club head pro george lacy signature hole no 12 this pic turesque 199yard par3 hole may look pleas ant enough from the 100foot elevated tee but dont be fooled by appearances says head pro- fessional george lacy in his second season at the 18hole public facility lacy suggests threading a drive through the front bunkers and bouncing on to the slippery green a heavy drive means contending with a cedar grove backing the green you definitely have to think out what youre going to hit and take two clubs off lacy advises trouble awaits no 13 this 357yard par4 forces one to choose between outdriving a pond located some 260 yards from the back tees or bailing left to a narrow landing strip that problem solved a severely elevated green awaits with a blind pin location making this even trickier on approach is a clove of trees backing the green and a devilish pond stuck in behind apparently for spite a lot of people play 5wood 5wbod instead of a driver but if you can carry the water it really shortens the hole notes lacy curse ofthe course although water is in play on 13 of 18 holes and ifs almost impossible not to find oneself playing from the trees at least once per round lacy says the slick greens will surprise even course regulars gimme a life membership no 4 usually playing downwind this 335yard par- 4 downhill test plays over a creek some 230 yards off the tee then another 120 yards into an enclosed green for those not content to lay up to the creek with a driver danger lurks for the heavy hitter opting to risk the thick cedar grove that frames much of the putting surface nevertheless this hole offers a negotiable path to the green and a pretty fair chance at birdie clubtossing time no 18 placing a drive between twin ponds located some 205 and 230 yards out on either side of the fairway is the key to success on the 389yard par4 a tip worth remembering on this right dogleg is to play for the large tree on the left corner of the fairway leaving a 150yard approach a third pond located to the left of the green surprises many firsttime visitors the pros view you have to drive and putt well and if you play the par3s well you should score well says
