Craters Edge Phenom

OK who let Vainte use the ladies tees for the first round? 58 is astounding with mixed conditions!!! Now I know what we'll see at OWGT when you set pins and conditions. Nice shootin Dave.

For such a tough course that round of Dave's has got to be one of his greatest ever. I made the mistake of playing with his REC round. I held him for precisely 1 hole before he went beserk. Not easy to get consistently close bearing in mind the irons you use for the approaches - not many easy short par 4's. I eventually lay groping on the canvas gasping for air feeling much like Hatton would have done.

Am I missing something here? Lowest round record says 65 at craters Edge on Scratch.

Funny game this is, I am cruising along with an average 4th round, -4 after the front 9. Craters Edge 10th wild left snap and I'm in an aboreteum of unknown plant life. I could rotate any direction, it didnt matter all you could see was a myriad of bushes, trees, and grasses. So five (I could care less) hacks with 5 different clubs and I can finally see daylight and the green and complete my 9 to move to +1. So what the heck, I just figure I'll mail in the last 8 holes and wait for next month. So with reckless abandon and I mean just throwing the marker in the general vicinity for aiming purposes. If I was wrong with my aim my mishit snaps were on the correct side to bring it right to the hole or I made all the chips I had but one. I somehow manage to finish -8 on the last 8 holes. I think I need to play like it doesnt matter more often.

One of the questions I had was about taking a drop, which I havent done in quite some time from visits to the forest. I always hack it out as a lesson not to do this again. Where does the game drop it when i am in deep woods? Are you still in the woods on a direct line to the hole? If thats the case whats the advantage to dropping? I suppose I could answer my own question by practicing it. It's too bad you don't get an option to see what the drop zone would be as a preview before you actually select it.
