Last week we took you through the first nine holes. This week we detail the back nine 10-18.
Playing the blue course the back nine holes can definitely be labeled as offering golfers some long uphill fairways.
Hole No. 10 is a 373-yard par 4 with a dogleg to the right. Take your tee shot to the center of the fairway. Don't go right or the trees will block your second show to the green. Sand traps on the left and right front of the green and in the right rear. Your second shot makes or breaks your par score.
Hole No. 11 is a 188-yard par 3 which tends to play shorter than the yardage posted. Sand traps are on the right and left. If you overshoot this green there is a downhill slope in the back of the green.
Hole No. 12 is a 491-yard par 5 with a dogleg right some 100 plus yards off the tee. Keep the driver in the bag on this tee shot. There is water left of the green and traps on the left front and right side of the green. We classify this hole a "real good" golf hole and your par 5 can be a challenge here.
Hole No. 13 is a 329-yard par 4 with an uphill open fairway with a slight dogleg to the left. Sand traps are in front of the green on both sides.
Hole No. 14 is a 548-yard par 5 and is the longest hole at Tennanah Lake. The fairway runs downhill, there is a pond on the left, keep your ball in the center of the fairway as it narrows going into the green. Stay out of the ditch which runs across the fairway. Traps on the green are front right and left.
Hole No. 15 is a 419-yard par 4, uphill and a straight open fairway. There is a unique covered bridge here which connects the15th and 16th fairways and this tends to be a conversation piece for all golfers. There is a sand trap on the left and right of this green.
Hole No. 16 is a 413-yard par 4 with the fairway running downhill and immediate trees on the left. Stay in the middle of the fairway to keep out of trouble. There is a sand trap on the left and right of this green.
Hole No. 17 is a 197-yard par 3 with an elevated green. Tends to play longer then it looks and it takes a good tee shot with the club of your choice to this green and score your par. Sand traps are on the left and right front of this green.
Hole No. 18 is a 408-yard par 4 with an open fairway running uphill. Keep the teen shot down the middle. Traps right and left sides of this green.
The back nine runs a total of 3,365 yards and records a par 36.
The Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
We definitely have been experiencing a lot of rain which tends to make our game play a lot different.
Some advise for playing in the rain is important because playing in the rain is full of distractions. It can become a distinct advantage for players gifted with powers of concentration stronger than their physical abilities.
With the assumption that you at least have your rain suit handy, here are a few extra arrows for your wet quiver:
* Have your tried Latex gloves? Rubber on rubber doesn't slip. Pulling them out at just the right time can be fun too. I like the yellow-colored ones the best. Naturally, it take a plomp, but you can do it. The "rain gloves" made by several manufactures are another option if you lack some chutzpah.
* Wear your contact lenses, if you have them. It's tough to hit the ball when you're seeing three of them because of the raindrops on your glasses.
* Bring several towels. They'll come in handy for a variety of reasons.
* Bring several hats, may golfers can hack the drips.
* Re-read the casual water rule.
* Always dry your ball and your putter blade before making a stroke.
* Remember, shots out of wet sand always go farther.
* Bring a baggie for your scorecard. It's nice to show your opponents how badly you "out-mudded" them once you return to the 19th hole.
