Cayote Ridge golf course!~上集

Cayote Ridge golf course!

現在維持每週打2場球的頻率,讓自己的能力和經驗都可以再提升。這次選擇Cayote Ridge球場,也是問這邊的朋友和老外同事,都推薦這個球場。因為比較難也可以一個人開球車打,今天打高溫90幾度/30多度的天氣真的有點軟腳。訂1點開球,開車大約要30~35分左右。有點小遠,到球場差不多12:50,拿了球車鑰匙就可以上場了。

因為它們的會所在整修,所以有一個拖車,工作人員在裡面處理訂場和相關事宜。到了還不知道是處理check in,轉了一圈才知道在這個拖車處理。這個球場的會所看起來比較好,有在管理,有巡場人員開著球車繞來繞去。這是我第二次看過有這樣,之前打westridge也是這樣。所以這個球場的管理比較到位。不能再隨便打27洞了,但今天這種高溫,要我再打27洞我也不要。都快中暑了。

這個球場的地形就是典型的山地球場,球道高低起伏,有點讓我想起台灣的八里球場和中國的廣州麓湖球場。前9比較簡單一點,但有幾個洞卻又非常有挑戰和有難度。但它的球道是我目前在德州打的球場來說,最窄的!沒錯,就是讓我想起在中國和台灣那種變態的球道設計,你視野看不到果嶺,同時也不能開球太遠,需要打準度。哦!這種天氣加上沒有風,我真的頭發熱。

這裡的球道沒有平的,沙坑也多到爆。水池也是我在德州打的球場最多的一個。到處都有。我覺得這個球場根本就是高爾夫球的墳場。因為我前9就發現一個狀況,這球場不需要距離,要準度和控制球的能力。前9的5桿洞我都可以2桿打到果嶺邊,一次還直接打上果嶺。因為這裡濕度低,高溫,所以球可以飛更遠。我開球都可以過250碼到270碼,所以三木也可以220碼以上。

而重點是它的球道窄,兩邊都有樹林和出界區。非常難!我都是打太遠。所以後9我就用3木開,而且不需要用力打,就輕鬆、放慢速度打,把球放在球道上就好了。全力打都打穿球道。一堆球道中間有水溝或凹進一塊。如果方向不對,一定出界或下水。當然我在找球,自己的球沒有找到,卻找到一堆球。所以說它是球的墳場,真的太貼切了。

我自己打的好處就是可以一人打2個球。有時候開球不錯,就會在球位上,打2個球,一個是原本的球,一個是加打。當練習,可以讓實戰經驗提升。這個球場我前9,開完球就是P桿。它的總長6300碼,雖然短一點,在這種天氣下距離可以提升5~10%,實際打的距離感覺像6000碼的球場。中距離的桿子用的也不多,長距離的也少。多半在3桿洞才會用到。

這個球場的三桿洞就2個字形容“變態”!果嶺小就算,還把旗桿插在靠水池邊,非常機車的位置。更重要是它還有像一些球場有高低落差。有時候是開球台高,果嶺低。果嶺也不好推,地形起伏很大,容易滾過頭。雖然起伏還沒有到變態等級,推起來是非常有挑戰。果嶺速度是超過10,很快,但我反而推的好。3個洞一推,而且有2個洞是長距離推進。

Texas is the paradise for golf, I have been trying to play twice per week for getting more experience and skills. This time I pick Cayote Ridge golf course. I check with my friends and colleagues for golf courses, they recommend this course for tough play that drives my intension and passion to challenge. I book 1pm tee time and it's driving over 30 minutes from my place.

The clubhouse is in decorating so the check-in is located in a trailer and take me a while to recognize it. This golf course has the staff to check the play and kind of organized. This course designs like hill side style that the fairway is up and down without flat area. Moreover the fairway is not wide that you need to shot the ball with accuracy.

Since this golf course for white tee is 6300 yards and the air is kind of dry today. It would allow the ball fly longer which is good but it's not good for this golf course. Most of the par 4, you can not drive too far since there are waters or creek, trees and bunkers as the out of bound area. I have some tee shots landed to the rough or tees.

In the back 9, I use my 3W to tee shot and make the ball lands on the fairway without problem then it's easier to drive my second shot to the green. I can find many golf balls in the rough or trees since this course is tough for the landing spot, if you miss a little, you get damage or lose the ball. That's why if you pay attention on the rough or trees you can find some golf balls without difficulty.

The par 3 holes are very challenged since the green is not big and the flag is always near the water or difficult spot. It makes the shot more challenge and if you make the mistake, you can't make the par. The green is also not flat, it's up and down on the certain spots and the speed is over 9 with fast green speed. I like fast green speed and I make some 1 putt to the holes.
