No verified cards were posted for this day.
Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 357 yards
Wind: 13 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 2Par 4 · 437 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 4 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike.
Hole 3Par 4 · 307 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 5 · 574 yards
Wind: 14 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 5Par 4 · 341 yards
Wind: 11 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 6Par 4 · 370 yards
Wind: 14 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, Water, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 5 · 570 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 8Par 3 · 173 yards
Wind: 10 mph, left to right. On the hole: 1 bunker.
173 yards, playing about 174 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 9Par 4 · 314 yards
Wind: 12 mph, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
