awesome pics,sir.....beats anything I saw and played here at Outer Banks.....how far was the carry on that one hole in the pic.....looks like more than I've got in my bag
That's the par 3 16th. The carry on the direct line to the hole is about 235. The wind was blowing at us. I blocked it right into the water and made double.

wow....if you couldn't break 80 I'd have needed a damn abacus...that hole is like that 230 par 3 at Pete Dye...except the Dye one is a little downhill
nice..I shot 78 one day with I think was 13 pars..played with a guy who shot 93 but birdied a par 4..no one else birdied the hole and he won 32 ..we played carry overs.golf is and never will be fair.
