Hole 4

Ok, this hole kicks me in the teeth on a regular basis. I have a -7 PB...and I usually get that with a bogey here.

I messed around in practice with Gloria Inf/Inf and found that the slope plays a more important role than landing on the hill.

If you land with an uphill lie, you will clear the mountain by a good 50% of its height. With a downward lie I was hitting right into it.

I now know that at least with Gloria. I can tee off with an iron on regular tee, hit a 220 yard shot, land on the first upwards slope to the hill, and then clear that mountain at it's highest point with ease.

I don't know how much this would help with medium to low trajectory, but I think it has fixed my grief. :)

So more than distance to hole, the slope you get on that hill seems to be key. Does this check with all the pros here? :)

is a good key to remember for crown and dinolandusa.com.gov (formerly known as dinolandusa.com, eurodino coming soon [maybe]) as well. having the extra up angle for your approach can be very handy and if your options are long shot that can get to green or short shot that goes into mountain, i would take the longer shot.

I don't even attempt to reach that green in two unless my uphill lie is at least 2-3 degrees on the approach. Unless it's raining with standard clubs or something, that green should be reachable for even the weak novice characters. But it's all a factor of where you land on that hill behind the bush.

Silver Peaks is one of those rare courses where you have lots of options off the tee which can handsomely reward you for taking a risk or absolutely destroy you for it.
