I have decided to call my course Spirits Golf Links. It is, supposedly, near the end of Long Island.
This is the 6th hole, a monster par 5 that can play up to 622 yards.
The tee shot, with the Atlantic in the background. Those bunkers that indicate the best line are over 500 yards away. From here, some 60 feet above the green, you can see three of the 9.
Here is your approach shot, provided you tee finds the fairways. You have two options; lay up short of the 9 cross bunkers, set into a 10 foot swell, or use a 3 wood to carry for a much easier 3rd. If either shot is misexecuted, par is going to be very difficult to score. Some of these bunkers lay 15 feet below the green, and 80 feet below the tee box.
A look back up the hill from the green, with a clear view of the bunkers and sand cliffs along the way.
