Van Cortland golf course, Bronx, New York!~上集

這次選在Bronx的球場，和上次打的Split Rock球場附近。開車從皇后區出發大概30分鐘，也算近。因為去看一下PXG的門店，所以逛好了就直接去打球。今天也要測試剛到手的Lab Mezz1推桿，現在已經是春天，今天天氣很不錯，溫度在17～18度。週二打球一般不會很多人打，所以我今天是自己推車，要好好享受一下大自然的空氣和風景。

Van Cortland是一個大的公園，球場也在裡面，這裡有很多的人來散步、健行、騎車、釣魚。我的開球時間是12點，但因為沒有人，所以讓我提早打，差不多11:45就下去，前面沒有人，後面也沒有人，所以我很愜意的開球。今天打黑tee，距離6000碼。其實不長，所以基本就不考慮打白tee。這個球場的設計是前9比較平坦和容易，你都可以從tee台看到果嶺。

球道的設計比較直也容易，地形也沒有很大的起伏，但果嶺的設計比較大，重要在第二桿的進攻和落點，果嶺旁邊就一個沙坑。還有就是球道比較窄，如果稍微偏一下，就會進樹林。這是前9的特色。後9就比較有挑戰了，地形的起伏很大，果嶺比較小，狗腿洞也不少，很多洞的tee台完全看不到果嶺位置，對於我這種第一次打的人就很茫然。後9讓我走的超累，會吐！有點像台灣北部的球場。

山地球場的地形起伏，很多洞開球台和球道有超過5層樓的高度落差，也有一洞球道往果嶺也有4層樓高的打。實在有挑戰，還好這些狀況以前都遇過。現在也不會腦子發熱，都是lay up的打上去。所以今天打起來就很順，反而還一路撿了一些球。今天只有掉2個球，都是找不到球，經驗上已經到一個火候，只是要把比較不好的桿子再提升和熟練。

我完全沒有進沙坑，但沙坑不多，都是在果嶺邊，不會有2個或以上，就是點綴而已，不是要難倒你。但後9的果嶺就真的有難，地形和斜坡也不少。後4洞有打孔鋪沙，所以不好推。今天推Mezz1真的穩，雖然沒有B2那樣如魚得水，但也是我可以接受。有2洞一推，剩下都是2推。非常的穩定，基本上有幾洞可以一推但都是洞邊滑過。意思到了！

Since last time I played Split Rock golf course, I would like to play another golf course in Bronx so I pick The public course Van Cortland. Today is Tuesday, there are not many people to play and I can enjoy a good golfing date with my push cart. Luckily the weather is great with 70 degree. I went to PXG store then come straight to the golf course.

It's not taking too long on driving from Flushing, Queens, I like to pick the golf courses without 1 hour driving and that is good for me to save the time. My tee time is 12pm and I comes around 11:30am, The staff lets me play 11:45 instead of waiting. I play black tee with total 6000 yards, it's not long course but I can still enjoy all of my golf clubs today.

The first 9 holes are not tough for average golfers to play, the fairway is straight and you are able to see the green from the tee box. But the fairway is not wide, it's testing your tee shot accuracy. If you have slice or hook, it will go straight to the trees for sure. The green design is ok, there is no slope and you can easy to make the putt or finishing with 2 putts.

However, the challenge is in back 9. There are many dog legs and you are unable to see the green. Moreover, the fairways are up and down hills, it will drive you crazy if your ball is not landed on the fairway. The fairway high is about 5 floors or higher, and there is one hole that the green is about 5 floor high to the fairway.

Of course, I have plenty experience and lay up to the green without damage. In short, the back 9 is to test your ability, strategy and experiencing. I lost 2 balls for this round since I could not find the balls on the fairway and tees, but I also pick up tons of golf balls from the rough. You are able to know the difficulty of the golf course.
