Re: Unlikely Eagle

I’m not sure where you got that from, but I think your totals are a bit skewed.

I’d love to tell you that this hole is 380 yards, but there is not a chance in hell that this is correct for the Intramuros I play. I know this for myself, because I can hit my 5 iron roughly 170 consistently and land within a 50 yard chip shot to the green. The only way your totals are right is if someone is measuring from the old blue tee mark set back maybe 50 yards from where I hit. But then that is still only around 270.

My friend routinely tees it near or on the green with his seven wood from our traditional white tee. He’s a great golfer, but not even he could carry 380 with his 7 wood.

Are you in Manila? Is there another Intramuros I don’t know about

I’ll have a look at my card when I get home tonight and see what it says. We are also playing a "**** golf " tourney there on Saturday. I’ll snap a shot and post it so you can see what I mean.

Cheers!
