Andy Konty: How far is that carry on 12 to get out of the 50

How far is that carry on 12 to get out of the 50’ hallway and past the OB? It measure 350’ on Google Earth (edge of parking lot to edge of tennis courts). That carry is too far for me and others will have to shape a shot that risks OB. The hole makes sense for bigger arms., but it will take me two shots to get out of there and not risk OB.
Can I make a suggestion to add a drop zone at the end of the hallway for any OB left or right off the tee? It will speed up play as well.

There’s nothing to think about if you can’t clear that hallway. Not worth the risk of going OB early to get farther down the hall. With a drop zone, the risk becomes part of the equation since there is now a choice: play 2 safe shots to get out and maybe get some distance out of there, or go for a bigger shot and risk being in the drop zone throwing 3.

Andy Konty Jun 6, 2025 it’s just a suggestion though, we’re all playing the same course.

Ian Tinsley Jun 6, 2025 You can land safely in the hall way and still par just fine. Not everyone gets to birdie every hole.

Andy Konty Jun 10, 2025 Just FYI, the hole played +1.5 for MA4.

Since you are checking stats.. you will notice it was only birdied by two people all day. Averaged over par for some of the advanced divisions in rounds. Good luck at ledgestone.. lots of holes likely to play over par

Andy Konty Jun 12, 2025 Thanks dick.
