Before you play

Seneca Hickory Stick

Six holes to think about: 2, 4, 9, 12, 13 and 16.

Hole 13 matters most. The other 12 you can play on instinct.

Tap a hole to see why it is or isn't a decision.

Par 72 from Robert Trent Jones II, and water touches most of it: ponds down the left of the front nine, a creek in front of the greens on 10 and 12 and straight down the middle of 15. Ten and 18 share one wide double fairway, and 18 finishes on the same double green as 9.

Miss right. On most holes the ponds, hazard lines and out-of-bounds are down the left.
On 17, don't go long: a thin bunker you can't see from the fairway wraps the whole back of the green.
The beverage cart is cash only, and outside food and drink aren't allowed on the course.

Changing tees changes every carry and every club, and on a hole or two it changes whether there is a decision at all.

Where’s the pin?

Middle centre

Middle of the green if you don’t know — that’s what most people should play to anyway. If you checked the pin sheet in the shop, set it properly and every number on the next screen moves with it.

Wind is read against the direction each hole plays. It changes how far your clubs go, never whether you can play.

6 decision holes, about five minutes.

No account, no email, nothing to install. I will ask you what you would play, then tell you what it costs.

Finish them and you get the card for all 18 holes to print.
