2013公开赛比赛场地：Meadows 西/北。各组各洞时间分配表。逐洞分析。

[笑言]

比赛场地确定，Meadows 西/北。
球友去练习，请在Pro-shop登记时说明要为打tournament准备，他们会尽量安排大家打这两个场地。但球场并不能保证一定能安排西北，请各位谅解。

 

[笑言]

本次公开赛规定比赛时间为4小时56分钟，基本上三杆洞14分钟，四杆洞16分钟，五杆洞19分钟，特殊洞另加了时间。这个时间已经很充足了，希望大家积极配合，在轮到自己打球前，预先观测距离，准备好球杆，而不是临时换来换去。如打到双倍标准杆时，请自觉停止打球，节省时间。总之不要拖延比赛，始终跟上前组。工作人员会在第9洞结束后核对各组时间，也会在比赛中巡查各组进度。如果某组与规定时间相差很大，可能会得到警告或罚杆。请大家平时练习时测一下自己的时间，以免到时不适应。

各组各洞比赛时间如下：


因为还不能最终确定第一洞是从北9洞还是西9洞出发，预备比赛时间表如下：

老大辛苦了！

 

[笑言]

老大辛苦了！

多谢老大支持！希望不要白辛苦。

每年的比赛我们打两场，第一天打完以后球场总是抱怨我们打得太慢，致使人家损失多少多少收入, blah blah blah...

从高尔夫运动总体来看，慢打已成为一大痼疾，美欧裁判委员会都在想办法。今年GAO针对慢打采取了很多措施，加大了处罚力度。

有些打球特别慢的球友，其实优化一下试挥动作，注意利用别人的打球时间自己做准备，把球车永远拉在最合适的地点等等，都可以省不少时间。不过我发现自己打球也越来越慢了。。。

The Meadows – Hole By Hole

WEST COURSE
1
Once on this tee you will be faced with the tightest target on the course. Played out of a chute, guarded left by marshland and to the right by forest, we suggest an iron be the club of choice from the tee. As usual the gamblers will want to hit a driver, keep it as close as possible to the large maple on the right side and you may be successful. With a short iron in hand, this wonderfully bunkered green will require a precise stroke n order to achieve par.

2
No slight dogleg here! This hole makes a 90 degree turn to the right. This challenges the player to judge not only the direction of the tee ball, but also it’s length. A solid drive of between 220 and 280 yards should position the player with a cleat shot to a small green nestled in the corner. Those coming up short will have to be inventive in order to get around the large trees guarding the inside corner of the dogleg. Course knowledge may be the difference between par and bogey.

3
One of two Scottish style holes on this nine, the players should find it a welcome change of scenery. Following two rather confining holes, this deceiving mid length par 3 opens into a gently mounded wind swept meadow. One must select the proper club (short is preferred) as the main trouble here lies beyond the green.

4
This stunning par 5 with its tree-lined double-dogleg fairway and tiny green (smallest on the course) make this a perfect 3-shotter. Choose any stick you wish from the tee, place your second past the large maple, pitch onto the green and you have a reasonable chance at birdie. Missing either of the first two shots will cause scores to soar.

5
Finding the fairway amongst the fescue will be the challenge from the tee. Once on the short grass, the undulating fairway and elevated green will truly test your iron play. With the prevailing wind in your face, missing right puts you in the bunker, the ditch or out of bounds. Bailing out to the left leaves you a difficult pitch up to a well contoured green.

6
The big hitters can leave the driver in the bag. No corner-cutters on this dogleg right par 4. A long iron or fairway wood would put the player nicely in the fairway with a short iron remaining to a softly-mounded green however; the approach must carry 2 pot bunkers placed in front of the small green.

7
The last and longest of a series of great par three’s. From the back tees, this hole plays to a ghastly 245 yards; from the whites, a more reasonable 185 however; with a large flat green and only 2 small bunkers on the left making par is an attainable goal.

8
If you were going to unleash the driver, this is the place to do it. The fairway is as wide as it gets. There is only one distant bunker to the left and Hawthorne Road looming to the distant right. Covering some real estate with the tee shot will help on the second as you are faced with a green well protected by sand and water. The large green is gently contoured and offers a nice place to make a long putt.

9
This open links style par 5 offers golfers a large variety of trouble to avoid. We’ve got a large creek to the left, mounds and fescues to the right. A large waste bunker and lake that challenges the second shot, and the large rolling green is protected by mounds and bunkers. A possible 2 shooter but they better be two of the best!

NORTH COURSE
1
The first hole requires a mid to long iron from the tee, a shot hit too far will almost certainly land in the sand. Hitting the fairway is a must to allow a clear short iron shot to the green which is farther away than it looks. If played conservatively off the tee, players have a great chance at par or better.

2
The shortest par 4 of any at the Meadows. Like the first hole a mid to long iron is certainly the club of choice. With two large trees guarding the front corners of the tee, the ball must start off dead straight. Once in the air a ball that is turning right will be position “A”‘, short of a pond that guards the front of the green. A short wedge or pitch is all that is left from here over the pond to a large four-tiered green.

3
The third hole stands alone in comparison to other par 3s. At only 130 yards from the whites, the shallow green is guarded in front by water and sand makes par a good score. Double-check your club selection because there is no place to miss.

4
The object of the par 5 fourth is get the tee ball over or right of the large pine tree guarding the left side of the fairway. Once here most golfers will have a go at the green, however the ball must be kept to the right of the green as an invisible pond cuts in to the left of the target. Those electing to lay up should keep in mind that the green here is 30 yards deep, so proper club selection is vital on the third shot to set up birdie.

5
This 168 yard par three requires nothing fancy, generally playing downwind. The hole is protected left and right by bunkers. With a relatively narrow target, the smart player aims for the center of the green.

6
Without contest this is the Meadows signature hole. A double dogleg left then left again entices the player in its risk/reward design. The player must play around an outstanding natural marshland to virtually an island green. The hole offers shortcuts both of the tee and to the green. Those attempting to shortcut the tee shot must be able to hit a high ball to clear trees bordering the marsh. This daring of a shot will clear trees, cross over the edge of the marsh returning to the fairway some 190 yards from the green. The conservative player ideally needs to hit right to left tee ball leaving them some 220 yards from the green. The second shot can be layed up to an area of fairway some 100 yards out, which is surrounded on two sides by water and front and back sand traps. The second shot for daring golfers must carry the marsh to a small elevated green, missing the green is not an option. Once on the green golfers will find a small 3-tiered green receptive to only precise golf shots. A wonderful hole that must be played more than once to fully enjoy.

7
If you have any balls remaining after the sixth hole, you’ll find the par 3 seventh a breath of fresh air. A short par 3 with a very undulating green this hole can be birdied. A solid short iron avoiding two front bunkers (don’t be long) will leave the player with a roller coaster putt.

8
Another treacherous par 5 at only 501 yards, birdies are not offered easily. In order to keep the ball in play and avoid the bunkers, the marshland and the ditch that protect the landing area, golfers should choose the three or five wood off the tee. This hole requires a definite precise layup shot to approximately 120 yards out, since there is water on both sides of a fairway that is only 40 yards wide. From here you will want to be sure of the cup location, as a misplayed approach could leave the golfer with a putt of more than 100 feet.

9
A pleasant finishing hole, cut through a large mature forest with no bunkers and only one hazard short left off the tee, birdies are possible. The best tee shot should favour the left center of the fairway. Gamblers can shorten the hole a little by hitting over the right side trees. Golfers are then left with a short to mid iron to the small two-tiered green.

目前一杆进洞选的是西3，好像左面也有树啊

 

[sillycat]

西3相对去年的东2还是容易些。东2左边有水右边有树林，西3只有左边有树，心理压力小很多。希望今年能有人打出一杆进洞。要是我打了，变卖了奖品请大家打球吃饭。

 

[amateurgolfer]

好啊！支持sillycat同学打出一杆进洞，大家又有吃喝喽

由于左边都是水，看来这个dropping zone不好弄

关于一杆进洞这一小概率事件，最近读到了一些有趣的数字，跟大家分享一下。请注意这不是为了打击大家的士气喔。

Golf Digest在2000年雇用曾任Boston University数学系主席的Francis Scheid做了一个一杆进洞概率的分析和研究。结论包括以下打出一杆进洞的概率：
- 巡回赛选手：3,000 to 1
- 低差点选手：5,000 to 1
- 平均水平选手：12,000 to 1
- 平均水平选手在一个200码洞打出一杆进洞的概率：150,000 to 1
- 在一个四人组里，两位选手同时在一个洞打出一杆进洞的概率：17 million to 1
- 一位选手在同一轮中打出两个一杆进洞的概率：67 million to 1

在这里假设一个平均水平选手一年打100场球，那么每场球有4次打一杆进洞的机会（通常每场球有4个3杆洞），一年就有400次机会，那么必须打30年才能打到一次一杆进洞。
