It is custom for the host of the Wynnum Cup to start a thread or two asking how to play certain holes.

The 10th hole is the starting hole for 80% of this year's field so I have decided to go with it. The 10th is a blood sucking son-of-a-bitch which if you aren't carefull will rip a shot or two from your score to start your day. This hole is a piddly 276m and gun-barrell straight. However, out of bounds is to the left (not to mention a car or two) and sufficient flora on the right to cause untold damage, especially as more OOB lurks just beyond the green.

This year I am thinking a bunted iron/wedge combo is required. Especially with the peanut gallery sitting on the practice green which is only 10m behind the tee.

So, what is your plan of attack?

[henno]

Driver OOB left. Reload with hybrid, wedge, 1-putt, "dirty birdie".

[PeteyD]

Topped 3W that bounces out of the creek into the fairway. Hybrid short of green. Chip on, easy 10' putt for par.

[Eag's]

The last 3 times I have played this bloody hole I have hit hybrid, lobby over the back, unplayable #-obut each time I made a 5.

[razaar]

Top a 3-wood bouncing it out of the front gully, another 3-wood short of the green, pitch up to 5 ft and make par.

[kpac]

hit 3 wood (i pick up of henno 3 mins earlier) and who knows the rest.

dare i say it....... "it cant be that hard........ "

[sms316]

"it cant be that hard........ "
Was this a comment made on the Saturday night of the Champs?

[markTHEblake]

usually my first drive of the day is one of my best, but my bad one is a block.

Even though i cant recall ever having any trouble on this hole before, and i rarely hit anything but driver, i am considering that the bunkers are protecting the RHS of the green making a chip and run from the right trees impossible, so i will taking that out of play.

Girly shirt lifting flossy bunt with the bitch stick for me.

[sms316]

Anything right is pretty much kaka Blake. You are correct about the run up not being an option. The lies over there aren't fantastic which makes a high floppy a dangerous shot with the fence being pretty close to the back of the green.

[BrisVegas]

Driver, 1-putt. ahh the memories. :wink:

[Jarro]

Hybrid, wedge ... 2 putts

[just]

Hybrid or 5 iron followed by another iron and then 2 putt.

[just]

And whatever you do, don't park your red Porsche next to the 10th Tee.

[Jarro]

Will all this happen under the cover of your umbrella just ?

[just]

Indeed, my Smoothy umbrella with the extra length shaft and high MOI square shape.

[AndyP]

Dunno, it's two weeks away, and the plan isn't done yet.

[jaybam]

Driver, skull 58 degree over the green out of bounds, drop and hit same club to a couple of feet than tap in bogey. Worked last year

[Daves]

A push into the trees on the left. Hack it out with a short iron. Chip on and 2 putts and I will be happy:lol:

[freddy a]

punch 3iron then wedge in

[shazza_rs]

Hand Pete a 3 iron. Walk to ball, hand Pete a wedge. Walk to green. Hand Pete his putter, grab flagstick.

[PeteyD]

Useful!

[Tomo]

Ill have to ask our new pro Mr Doolan. I am sure he has played it a few times.

[BrisWesty]

Depends if Hux and I are playing match play or not. Wouldn't want to give away too many secrets too early. ;-)

[henno]

Depends if Hux and I are playing match play or not. Wouldn't want to give away too many secrets too early. ;-)

Your only plan needs to be "sit back and see which Hux turns up to play". It could either be the Net 60-odd burglar or the Gross 100 chopper. :mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

Gross 100 chopper or copper?

[Iain]

4 iron, wedge.

[henno]

4 iron, wedge.

Isn't that your play for every hole? (Minus the 4-iron on the par 3s) :mrgreen:

[Iain]

Perhaps....

[sms316]

Hand Pete a 3 iron. Walk to ball, hand Pete a wedge. Walk to green. Hand Pete his putter, grab flagstick.
You could caddy for SMS in the interest of peace prior to matchplay.

:wink:

[shazza_rs]

Where's the fun in that? :)

[Lucasto23]

Driver off the tee and see what we have to deal with then :(

[Daves]

Well we had an update on the right approach for the 10th today. It seems (for a lefty) that a big push towards the out of bounds fence, then a hacked chip and run across the green, and a pigs arse putt from off the green back for a bird is the now accepted method for handling this hole.:roll::mrgreen:

[Eag's]

How about a dropkick driver, half wedge to 15 feet, two putt par :)

[henno]

How about skulling an iron into the creek, only for it to hit a turtle (or something!) and magically end up on the fairway.

[Eag's]

:lol: PeteyD found one of those turtles on the 18th today ;)

[PeteyD]

Nah, the lefty birdie today was special.

[PeteyD]

:lol: PeteyD found one of those turtles on the 18th today ;)

It was probably the same one I hit on the 10th last time out!

[henno]

No wonder you're winning the handicap bet. You've clearly paid off the turtles.

[Daves]

Nah, the lefty birdie today was special.

It was, shame it wasn't me:cry:

Did any of us actually hit the fairway? (at any stage?)

[PeteyD]

Yes, I hit hybrid up the center before totally stuffing the second shot.

[BrisWesty]

With a snorkel and flippers.

[Hux]

Twas easy....sky driver, pure PW to 10 feet then 3 putts for 5.

[Jarro]

Hybrid left in the trees.
Punch out.
Wedge into rightside trap.
Up and down for easy bogey :roll:

[henno]

Push-cut hybrid, chip out, miss green, chip, putt, putt. 1-down.

[gazgolf1]

Driver into the right rough, pulled 9 iron left of the green, up and down for par.
Damo hit his approach to foot.

[Eag's]

Flush drive, shank lobby, chip out, blade chip, three putt triple. :(

[Lucasto23]

hit 4 iron fat, missed right with 6 iron pin high, chip and 2 putts mehe:(

[PeteyD]

The fat 4 iron was pretty special though. Almost as good as the fat practice swing!

Pull hybrid under tree. Left handed back of 6 iron to fairway. Wedge on 2 putt crapolla.

[Hux]

Flush drive, shank lobby, chip out, blade chip, three putt triple. :(

Eag's bogey hole....it hates him.

[Lucasto23]

The fat 4 iron was pretty special though. Almost as good as the fat practice swing!

Pull hybrid under tree. Left handed back of 6 iron to fairway. Wedge on 2 putt crapolla.

That makes me feel special:cry::cry:

[jaybam]

Driver into trees right. Skull wedge into tree in front of me. Hit wedge over tree into greenside trap. Wedge out onto green and a three putt to wrap up a nice 7

[markTHEblake]

Bunt driver down the centre, 50m pitch to 15ft, stand around in rain for 20mins, and then lip out for the birdie.

[BrisWesty]

Driver to 60m, sand wedge to 3m, 2 putt par

[Moe Norman]

hybrid, wedge, putt = birdie.

I should have gone home after that

[Daves]

Driver to 50m. PW almost over the bunker.:roll: SW to about 15' and 2 putts.

[BrisVegas]

anti-left drive into right rough. lobby. 3 jag for bogey. noice.

[AndyP]

Solid 3 wood for first shot in a couple of weeks, but a little right and finds rough. 9I (I think) to back left of green. Pump first putt past the hole. Nail the tester back. Par.

[damoocow]

Driver into the right rough, pulled 9 iron left of the green, up and down for par.
Damo hit his approach to foot.

16 degree driver / PW / one putt
And I hope that 33cm holds up for the NTP !
