(You'd think with the go for broke setup of the 14th, there might be a picture...nope, instead i show you of ...#9 from a crazy angle?)
Browning mixes holes and shot values well throughout, from the ultra wide 10th, to the tough three shot 11th, and unlike a lot of mountain courses, Browning didn't just go for the money shot - the hole with looming mountains that doesn't really ask for more than a 5-iron to a plunging fairway. Instead, he provides an interesting selection of shots, from the quirky, short four 14th, at 294 yards with a naturalized area 30 yards in front of the green, to the terrific 478-yard par four fourth, with a tough tee shot and approach to a perched green, Browning gives players enough variation without showing off.
Also, I hope you are enjoying the many holes with trees in the middle of the fairway (Halbert and I should have the pull slice that bends nicely around the mini-fairway-forests)!
The Falcon Crest Lodge part deux:
When you stay at the Falcon Crest Lodge in Canmore, Alberta, you will experience luxuriously appointed guest room accommodations offering a modern, yet classic mountain décor. All of the luxurious rooms feature granite counters, plush pillow-top mattresses, warm fluffy duvets, and a 27 inch cable television with DVD player, AM/FM Radios and CD Player, Gas Fireplace, Kitchenette, and even a Gas Barbeque on your deck or patio!
Oh and their motto is "Soaring to New Heights in Hospitality" -- Falcon...soaring...get it...god that's good!
My duck hook navigates around trees as well thank you very much
ReplyDeleteAs far as avoiding trees goes, I preferred Rosch's old tee shots that went about a thousand feet in the air. Why worry about going around the trees when you can just go right over them?
ReplyDeleteScrew the golf ...I'm looking forward to some Labatts and Molsons on the balcony while we grill up some meat, attracting bears and cougars from miles around !!!
