    Darsum, same here, but still more birdies than on #15... or #7 for that matter.  If the wind ain't right, I ain't getting that green at #7 in regulation.

    DarSum:

    BPB#5 I realize this is not the most difficult hole on here but I bet it ranks very high in having the lowest birdies for a Par 4. I'm willing to bet it averages around 4.7 or higher. I'm pretty sure the green is indoor/outdoor carpet install on concrete. Forget holding that green with a tail wind from anything over 170 yrds. Or for that matter forget holding that green with no wind over 170 yrds unless you can land it perfectly in the rough and run it on.

    I'm positive I can count on one hand the number of birdies I've had on that hole since joining a year ago. And I can remember only one of those being a putt. The rest were chip ins from above the hole long.

    # 5 is not really a hard hole you just have to accept the fact that the green does not hold well and play for par. I have had a few birdies there. And 1 holed out 5 iron for an eagle. 

    For me the hardest holes have been # 9 @ Oakmont and # 15 @ BPB . In the year and  half that I have been playing here I have had only 1 birdie on # 9 and many many doubles or worse. And only 2 birdies on #15 and many doubles or worse there as well.A few of the doubles or worse were with 4,5,and  6 putts.

     # 17 @ St. Andrews has ruined many a good round as well but I have had many birdies there as well. # 17 @ Kia has also ruined many good rounds. Just a minor mishit can end up in the lake and kill a good round. Or I'll concentrate so much on not clicking late that I will click way too early and end up in the bunker to the left which no easy shot.

    I posted this before, but I had two putts saved from BPB #15, front hole location.  I have since deleted them.  One was a putt I missed from below the hole.  Just missed the lip and went three inches past, then rolled back into the cup.  The other was a 5' from the side that stopped just above the cup, or so it seemed, then took 15 seconds to roll down an inch and drop into the cup.  That second one, I was waiting for the screen to change for the follow up putt for a bit, thinking the game froze before I realized my ball was still live.
