Gap #17 at my dwelling course requires a 280yd uphill carry from the boys’s tees to clear a lake with deep bunkers and roll offs on 2 sides. 295yds from the ideas. It’s a lay-up gap and supplies plenty of choices from a mid-iron to a hybrid or fairway wooden.

However a Phoenix Open qualifier is held at my course, and so they needed to construct a brand new tee field that now requires a 310 carry as a result of many of the Professional’s had been driving it simply.
