這次和朋友約打球,球場在Plano北邊,叫The Bridges。 開車大約30分鐘,比較偏僻。所以平日打的人真的不多。幾乎就是包場的狀態。打起來相當愜意和輕鬆。從前9打到後9都後面都沒有組別,超級舒服也快樂。這次是5個人,都是在這裡的台灣人一起球敘,而訂場前也確認球場,可以接受5人一組。現在知道原因,因為根本沒有人打所以OK。
這個球場是Fred Couple設計,所以前面的路也是以他的名字命名。沒有打過他設計的球場,來嚐鮮!開球時間是12點,打這種時間比較不好掌握吃飯,所以到最後3洞就餓了沒有體力,球就控制不了。這個球場還有一個好處就是練球不用錢。所以先去練習場打一下,熱身和試一下朋友新的PXG木桿。
練習球是Taylormade,第一次見到TM的練習場,打起來覺得還不錯,不會硬但非不遠。熱了身,就開球了。我打金梯,總長7000出頭碼,藍梯不到6500碼,黑梯時7500碼。很適合來練球和新手來累積經驗。這個球場打起來真的適合新手。前9很簡單,應該說球道寬到像停車場,不容易打壞,掉球。
而Fred Couple設計的風格是,球道不時會起伏,後9比較難,不少洞需要lay up/間接打上果嶺,很難直攻。策略面上比距離要重要。同時果嶺的起伏很大,面積也超大。考驗在推桿能力上,上果嶺率相對容易和提高。這也是新手可以打得出信心的好處。所以今天不少洞都3推。
有一個狀況我覺得球場在果嶺鑽洞的問題,今天有3~4個洞都是從洞口刷過。照理可以進但洞口邊緣土和草軟且有塌陷,導致刷過,沒有掉進。但果嶺狀況和球道都狀況不錯,應該是我最近打的球場裏頭最好的一個。果嶺推起來很舒服,也不會跳動。只是落點位置不對,往往需要3推。這是考驗推桿和實力不足的地方。
沙坑其實也不多。在前9不多,也沒有下沙。到後9就整個風雲變日。後9的樹林和草叢變得很多、也密集。球道也有點窄。尤其在幾個洞,果嶺也會有比較多樹,影響你進攻的視覺。應該說後9比較像打其他球場的感覺。加上我早上9點多吃飯,到下午3點多就肚子一直叫,後面3洞真的打的很差,掉4個球。但有2個是落在果嶺邊卻找不到,一個是在球道邊找不到。沒有落水。其他就是開球出界。

The Bridges Golf course!~下集

This time I play the bridge golf course with friends in north of Plano area. It's taking about 30 minutes to drive. The good thing is there is no golfer to play during the weekdays. At least I don't see other groups before and behind us. I would say it's the best timing to play since no groups around you and you can enjoy your time and playing with relax style.
It's designed by Fred Couple. I haven't played his golf courses before and try to know what his golf course style. Since the tee time is at noon and it's hard to eat lunch. I get hungry around 3pm and without energy, I am unable to control the ball well. That's why the back 9 doesn't perform well.
The driving range is free for golfers who play the course, it's the advantage that we can get body warm up without spending more bucks. The driving range ball is Taylormade, it's good feel but the distance is really OK. Today I play gold tee with over 7000 yards, blue is about 6500 yards and black is over 7500 yards.
I would say it's good for golfers who have less experience and skills to improve your weakness. The front 9 is really relax and easy with wide fairway and big greens. The difficulty is on the green, if you are not landed on the right spot, 3 putts are kind of common results. Reading the green is important ability for this golf course with the turning points.
The back 9 is totally different, the fairway becomes narrow and green is tough. You need to play correctly with right strategy lay-on for making the green. If you go straight to the green, you can get damaged easily. That's important to play right instead of driving the distance in this golf course.
