A Virtual Nine Holes at Willow Oaks CC

6th Hole / 414 yards / Par 4

Alright, this is a tough driving hole here on number six. You've got a dogleg out there about 250 and you need to carry it at least 230 to be able to hit your second shot to the green. If you can play your power fade here, that's a great shot but if you push it too far right you're in those trees right or, worse yet, in that pond. Playing from the blues you're gonna need all of the Burner so get it out and tee 'er up. <crack> Oh wow, where'd that draw come from? The hole goes the other way. You got some work left to get it to the green, but at least you can see the green from there. <walk, walk, walk>

That marker over there says 177 and add 30 yards, plus the green rises about 6 feet up from the fairway (they raised that last year to keep it from flooding when the James comes out of its bank), so you need at least a 2-iron, 1-iron if you have it. I might hit my 4-wood here. Give it a go. <click> Glorious, glorious; look at that ball; run on up there baby, run, run. Yeah, great shot Dougie. Anytime you can hit a long iron that straight, it's a good shot in my book! Par's a good score here and I think we're lookin' at no worse. <walk, walk>

Well that putt is looking better and better all the time as we walk up. I was thinkin' you had 12-15 feet, but it's gettin' closer as we get there. <walk> Oh yes, 4 feet. Good show. I'd like this putt to be a little straighter but you get what you get. You got a line on this? I'm thinkin' 8-10 inches break left - aim it right here at this little brown spot, whadda you think? It's a speed putt, figure out how hard you want to hit it . . . Okay, we've studied this long enough, putt the damn ball <roll> <zip> Oh crap, that's the second one's lipped out. Tap in par though ain't all bad, though. What are we at here . . . 3 over? Not a bad round so far. <walk>
