Oyster Bay town golf course

昨天下雨，今天天氣就超棒，陰陰的天空，溫度就82/26度左右。實在不能太好的夏天溫度，當然就找球場來運動一下。我現在夏天打球都是不計畫，天氣好就找球場去打球。今天選一個有難度的場子Oyster Bay Town golf course，它離Bethage很近，都在同一個區塊，所以開車差不多是40分鐘。訂中午12點開球，球袋背著出發。

我今天打藍tee，總長是6376碼。白tee是5831。這球場的前9是出名的難，尤其第四洞的難度1，我花4桿才打上果嶺，也2推。是真的有挑戰的洞。這個球場很像台北的球場，球道上上下下，沒有平的，而且很多的果嶺都設計在上坡。讓進攻果嶺非常機車。開球也是有難度，因為球道設計很窄，樹林在球道兩旁，視覺上很有壓力，稍微一偏掉就拜拜了。

第四洞設計就是看不到果嶺，雖然球落在球道上，但果嶺被地形給遮住，我的球位也不是平的就打壞了，然後再切上果嶺。果嶺也是2層設計，果嶺也都不是平，高低落差讓你推起來會惱火，但我覺得還好。現在推美國的果嶺也算熟門熟路，多半2推收。有四個洞都從洞口滑過，沒有一推收。現在也比較會看路線，力道的掌握也越來越好。

木桿依據如魚得水，基本都是在球道和旁邊的長草。沒有落水或出界。但因為左手臂網球肘，所以鐵桿還是無法用力，打不起來。所以今天都是P和wedge上一半的打。無法做全揮桿來打鐵桿。手肘問題是自己做拉伸的一個動作不對，導致手肘拉到發炎。已經有一個月沒有打球，但今天天氣太好，還是來逛逛球場。

我今天下沙一次，在果嶺旁的沙坑，沙子是中顆粒，所以不難脫困。 這個球場難度在球道窄，再加上果嶺起伏，上坡會讓你的距離增加個10碼左右，同時果嶺設計中等，但果嶺形狀是不規則形，有的狹長，有的是不規則形，非常難打。需要打出一定高度，讓球可以停球。不然一定會飛出去。

另外來聊聊這次併組的老外們，一位60多歲的歐吉桑，典型senior球友，打球必須有雪茄，一路從第一洞到最後一洞都一直抽著。也是老球棍，技術就是自成一格但也是很愛和人喇賽。我是自己推車所以沒有他們推車快，所以他就和另一對男女一路聊。也對這個球場很熟，不時給訊息！怎麼打問他就知道。

還有一對就是男的非常紳士，會幫他的女朋友或老婆，看球，鼓勵和拿球桿。必須給他一個讚！因為我是做不到這樣全面和到位。他打的算不錯，都是鐵桿一路打，木桿類就是他的致命傷，側旋的很嚴重，所以鐵桿是他打這個球場最好的武器。看來也是有兩下子才知道這個球場沒有準度就肯定搞死你。

本文未完，下集請待續。

Summer is hot in July, and tries to golf with cooler temperature. Yesterday was raining and today temperature is around 82 degree that drives my passion to get a round. In the summer, I golf without planning or reservation since I don't play over temperature 95 degree that is burning my body. I can't play through 18 holes like human being.

I pick Oyster bay town golf course which is about 40 minutes driving from my place and close to Bethpage golf park. Playing such golf course, it's always better to check the availability in the morning then book the tee time on noon or early afternoon. You can still get some vacancies to book. I make 12:00 to get my tee time.

I am pairing with one couple and one senior for today's round, they are all driving the cart so it makes my play with fast path. I hate it because I need to run all the time to catch up their speed that drives me crazy and exhausted. When I get home, my body is so tired and painful. Since this golf course is pretty similar with Bethpage style that has up and down hills on the fairways and multilayer of the greens.

l would say it's very challenge and tough for average golfers to since you need to have the consistency and accuracy for your shots. Without these, it's better to prepare over a dozen golf balls. I lost 4 balls for this round since I don't have time to find the balls without out of bound and dropping to the water.

The toughest hole is number 4 with handicap 1 for this golf course, it's a dog leg design with uphill green that you can't see the green location, you will need to use fairway wood or long irons to lay on but the difficulty is on the second shot that you can't really know the direction with exact flag spot. It took me 3 shots to get on the green.

後九就比較友善，球道也寬多了，果嶺也比較平，打起來也容易輕鬆了。對於一般球友來說就可以好好的練木桿和鐵桿。但是後九的水池也比較多，出界區也比較多。當然如果你方向差很多就救不了。另外樹林也不少，而且都是高大的樹林，進去就老實切出來，再打果嶺。我今天也是2次進樹林，就是被樹枝給擋下來，還是出不去。

我個人的感覺是，球道設計是和Bethpage的藍場差不多，風格都是一樣，只是這個球場更刁鑽和地形變化更大。非常有挑戰和難度。所以我今天走下來真的是很累，要和另外3個人一起併組打，（一對情侶和一位歐吉尚）我是推著車，上上下下的追，好累啊！

到了15洞就真的會腿軟。還好今天沒有太陽，走起來不會太痛苦。不然我會打到15洞就直接撤退回家。現在是真的會考慮買一台電動滑板的球車，至少可以一路滑，不需要走路就輕鬆多了。對於夏天打球就是最好夥伴，至少可以跟上別人的速度。

整體的球場狀況是不錯，比我之前打的Bethpage和Stonebridge要好多了。果嶺狀況也不錯但速度在8左右，並沒有很快，所以推起來還是挺順。週二的時間打還是前後都有組別，非常的火，不容易一個人打。這樣節奏就容易被拉走。不可能別人等你很久，所以今天也沒有時間找球都是直接丟新球打了。

我覺得如果沒有訂到Bethpage，可以來打這個球場，但最好實力在15以內，鐵桿最好要準，開球如果沒有準度可以鐵桿就好。今天同組的情侶，帥哥就是一路鐵桿開球，到後9有一洞拿木桿開，結果就下水，還是拿鐵桿才把傷害壓到最低。這種球場需要有一個最好的武器也是最穩的桿子，這樣才能打到最後。

我是木桿準和穩，所以我第二個打多是拿7鐵上一半的打或wedge打。越長的桿子如果穩定性不好，打Oyster bay town球場就會一路掉球，球會不夠用。我今天掉5個球，都是不想找也沒時間找。球道木今天也都沒有打起來，沒有左手就真的完全不行。有重量的桿子左手都完全沒力打。看來要好好休息到手肘好了才能出關。

I play blue tee box with total over 6300 yards, the first 9 is so tough to get the ball on regulation to the green. I have about 3 pars for the first 9 and 4 double and two bogeys. The back 9 is friendly with wide fairway but there are more bunkers on the fairway. There are some waters and creeks on the fairways, it's easy to get into the trouble.

The green condition is so good with speed around 8. I would say Oyster bay town is the best green condition in recent 6 months. The condition is very important to help you read the green and line that helps me putt well. There are about 6 long putts slipping the hole that tell me my reading the green ability is on the right path.

Some greens are two tier to make your put hard. But it doesn't make me hard to put, I can make the ball near about one iron length for 2 putts to end it. I would say this course is good for advanced golfers to build your ability on various golf clubs. You will know what part is your weakness to improve.

I can't play well since my left arm is painful for over one month. I shouldn't play today but I can't say no for such wonderful weather and temperature. I can't make the solid shots like normal for irons and fairway woods today. All my second shot is 7 irons, pitching wedge and 52 loft wedge to target with half swing. My left arm can't hold solidly for the swing that makes my contact miss on the center of face.

Overall, this course is tough, and body condition must be good to face the up/down hill challenge. You can use iron to tee shot and lands on the fairway or rough, it's exactly my other pairing golfer's strategy. Although the back 9 he gets his driver to tee shot but straight to the water. I think handicap over 15 is good to play this course. You will get frustration for sure with your golf clubs!
