    Default How will you play the 15th at Victoria GC?

    http://www.victoriagolf.com.au/cms/course/hole-15/



    Listed at 289m and Index 17, this drivable hole is no snack. Trees down the right, many cavernous bunkers down the left. The green drops off sharply to the left and back, so hitting the green is a must.

    I camped next to the green on the final day of the 2010 Melbourne Masters and watched a lot of big names play this hole. Tiger drove the green and canned a monster putt for eagle, but a lot of others had to scramble just to make par.

    A sweet draw starting off the right side coming back is the only way you can attack it with driver.. played this hole about 30 times and tried everything.. LoveGolf's approach is actually the way I prefer to play it.. go long into the greenside bunker and play it from there. Vic's bunkers are a treat compared to what I am used to!

    He was probably a champion northern hero. 58pts sounds about right.

    -2 off the stick? Your odds a rapidly coming in. Tom?!?!? Get in here and sort this out.

    My one visit to the course I just ripped driver down the right hand side to just short of the bunker and hit some sort of wedge on... dont recall there being much of a trick to it to be honest...

    I'm thinking 5 iron or short hybrid off the tee, then a half or 3/4 PW. Looks like a hell of a hole if you were contemplating trying to get it right up there.

    The play on 1 is to try to get on the front of the green or just short. You cannot miss the green left or long, almost certain bogey or worse. Miss in the rhs green side bunker is ok, but still leaves a difficult recovery. Off the tee hit whatever you need to get over the short lhs fairway bunkers and hope to roll up close to the green. Play for a safe par and hope for a good second shot to sneak a birdie.

    You'll feel like a complete dickwad if you are standing on the second tee having made a mess of such a simple first hole.
