The
Hole:
Rushmoor is a 499 yard hole that plays a
lot shorter than its yardage if you can get a good drive away. Be cautious of
the out of bounds on the left, but a good drive leaves the green within reach
as the downhill slope of the fairway can kick the ball forward, gaining you
valuable extra yards. But be sure to take some time to enjoy the fabulous views
from the top of the hill, where it is said you can see seven
counties.
Pro's Advice:
Here is a good chance for a birdie. Again,
just left of centre is favoured and your shot to the green can kick right if it
lands short.
Member's Advice:
The tee shot is blind for the
longer hitters and the aim is to hit catch fairway and let your ball find the
downslope to gain 50 or 60 extra yards of roll. But the out of bounds on the
right always whispers in your ear that you right handers might slice it! Once
on the lower fairway however, its the green that will present the problems with
its gentle slope to the right. But play your cards right, and you could be
rewarded with a birdie here.
For the Ladies:
A relatively straightforward par 5 so long as you haven't got a slice
off the tee as out of bounds awaits. Anywhere down the middle will give you a
good view of your second shot. The shot into the green is tricky whenever the
ground is hard as the green slopes away from you and it is hard to get the ball
to stay on the green. Any putt above the hole will need a great deal of
care!!
