We have entered the summer golf season. The weather has been warm and golfers have been out enjoying the course. If you have never played EV, you should find it to be one of Northern Michigan’s golfing treasures. Every hole is different, there are rolling hills and elevation- a challenge, but lots of fun! EV is also a good “on the way upnorth” course- break up your ride with a round of golf.

Tuesday/Thursday Special

Hole #1
Par	4
Handicap	12

Gold	395
Blue	390
White	357
Red	310

EMERALD VALE OPENS WITH A GENEROUS MEDIUM LENGTH DOGLEG RIGHT PAR 4. A GOOD DRIVE TO THE CENTER OR LEFT CENTER WILL LEAVE A MIDDLE IRON INTO A GENTLY UNDULATING GREEN GUARDED BY A BUNKER ON THE LEFT SIDE.POINTER: WASTE AREA TO RIGHT SIDE OF DRIVING AREA MUST BE AVOIDED. BIG HITTERS CAN CARRY THE WASTE AREA BUT “BEWARE”.

Hole 2

Hole #2
Par	5
Handicap	4

Gold	592
Blue	562
White	539
Red	420

THIS 3 SHOT PAR 5 BOASTS A LARGE LANDING AREA IF THE PLAYER STAYS SHORT OF THE FAIRWAY BUNKERS GUARDING THE FAIRWAY. A PROPER LAY UP TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY ALLOWS THE PLAYER A GOOD CHANCE AT SELECTING THE PROPER CLUB NEEDED FOR THIS 4 CLUB DEEP GREEN. PAR IS A GOOD SCORE HERE.POINTER: STAY SHORT OF FAIRWAY BUNKERS ON TEE-SHOT. DON’T GET GREEDY. RIGHT SIDE OF GREEN IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUTT. STAY LEFT. THE GREEN IS AS DEEP AS THE GRAND CANYON SO PICK THE RIGHT CLUB FOR YOUR APPROACH.

Hole 3

admin — Sun, 11 May 2008 07:23:59 +0000

Hole #3
Par	4
Handicap	14

Gold	357
Blue	314
White	297
Red	285

A SHORT PAR 4 THE BEST TEE SHOT IS TO FAVOR THE LEFT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A WASTE BUNKER GUARDS THE RIGHT SIDE. CLUB SELECTION IS AT A PREMIUM. THIS SMALL GREEN IS ONLY 11/2 CLUBS DEEP AND HAS TREES GUARDING THE LEFT SIDE AND A GREEN SIDE BUNKER WRAPPED AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE. THE GREEN IS NO PICNIC EITHER. SHORT DOES NOT MEAN EASY.

POINTER: AVOID THE WOODPECKERS HOUSE IN THE WASTE AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY ON YOUR TEE-SHOT. MISSING THIS GREEN WILL FOLLOW WITH A IMPOSSIBLE CHIP OR PITCH. HIT TO THE CENTER OF THE GREEN.

Hole 4

admin — Sun, 11 May 2008 07:22:31 +0000

Hole #4
Par	4
Handicap	2

Gold	408
Blue	400
White	372
Red	339

THE HARDEST HOLE ON THE FRONT 9 THIS PAR 4 DOGLEG LEFT REQUIRES A TEE-SHOT TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A LONG TEE-SHOT IS REQUIRED TO SEE THIS UNDULATING TWO TIER GREEN.

POINTER: A TEE-SHOT TO THE LEFT SIDE WILL GREATLY HINDER ALL PLAYERS. “STAY RIGHT” THE AVERAGE PLAYER SHOULD HIT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND HOPE FOR A TWO PUTT. THE PLAYER WHO DOES SHOOT DIRECTLY AT THE PIN BEWARE OF THE BUNKERS GUARDING THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE GREEN AND BE CAREFUL TO PICK THE RIGHT CLUB, IT COULD VARY UP TO 3 CLUBS FROM FRONT TO BACK.
