Re: Challenging Exec. Golf Course(s)
I've got a slightly different take on Pelican. The course itself is not that difficult for a decent golfer. In theory, you can lay out your gameplan and beat the course. None of the shots are that difficult. The problems only start when you actually play, especially for a lesser than decent shooter like me. You get on the first tee and have a fairly simple short iron to a decent green. Unfortunately, you can't see that. All you see is the marsh/waste and you're psyched out. Same on several other holes. So you should be shooting a 30-31, but you end up with a 38-39 and three lost balls.
I find the same situation at Truman. I look at that course and just know I can hit a 31-32. Then I overhit two holes. underhit 2 others, get eaten by the traps on the par 4, and 4 putt #8.
Thank god my orthopaedic surgeon says I can't play for at least 10 weeks.
