what is up y'all hope y'all having a great day out here at Nashville golf &
Athletic Club we're gonna be playing the front nine and going through some course
management tips why hit certain shots reasons why I chose certain clubs and so
on this is gonna be the front nine and part one back nine will be part two all
course management for this two part series number one par-4 410 yards one of
the most difficult starting holes in all of golf very thin green up there water
over that rise their angle into this green for your approach shot is huge a
lot of people might tee up driver hit it down the right side the angle into that
green coming across the green with water long makes for a very difficult wedge
shot I'd rather have a good angle on the left side with a fuller mid iron into
that green
might have pulled that just a little bit left to where I actually wanted that I
think it's going to be in the rough over here
however our angle into the green is going to be good and that's what we were
looking for all righty here we are 175 yards left a little breeze into and it
is pretty cold out here I think it's roughly 40 degrees so I've got 7-iron in
hand
none or two best swings right there however still have a chance to get it up
and down for par and our misses on both swings we're in the proper place all
righty there we are and not as what we're faced
with not much green but probably going to try to lane it right in there and let
it trundle down with the for having our misses and proper places left us the
opportunity to still make par on one not really having very good swings made par
on the number two par for 405 yards straightaway par four
this is one you can't it high and let it fly
hit that one well found the fairway my typical miss it's gonna be right and
right on this hole is okay left is no good so knowing that my typical miss is
still going to be okay we can be aggressive with driver great shape right
there 100 yards left to a back pin not the
greatest wedge shot right there just off the green roughly 30 feet left to the
hole
now we'll tap this in for the four so for here on - even though we were off
the green right there chose to go with putter anytime you can putt it if you
think the ball is gonna roll fairly smooth through the fringe I recommend
putting it a bad putt is gonna be better than a bad chip all day long
number three par-5 614 yards straight away Castle right there off in the
distance is going to be our aiming point
long ways home here I've got hybrid in hand over 300 yards left but angle into
this green is everything so I'm gonna play it down the right side give us a
lot of green to work with this third green is a very thin green up there so
I'm always thinking angle into this green when I have to lay up however I
did miss that off into the rough but the angle coming to this flag is a great
angle I've got a lot of green to work with should be able to knock it close
there's where we landed there's where it hopped ooh that was close to flying in
the hole real quick I want to show you if we were coming down the left side of
the fairway to this pin location we've got roughly and 1213 feet right there
but because we came in from this angle right here we roughly have about 25 feet
with also more green behind than on that angle that's why we want to hit it down
the right side
let's go pin slammer here on three as you can tell from the last several
videos there's no pin slamming going on currently but that was a birdie pin
slammer will pin slam it in the future 1-under through three holes on number
four par for 425 yards this whole sets up to my eye little
butter cut off that cart path right there there's some holes they just look
good to you this is one for me so I'm gonna be more aggressive when the hole
suits my eye or teen up driver
I did pull that drive just a little bit however missed it in the proper place a
bad miss on this hole would be right so because that's my typical miss I'm gonna
cheat over just a little bit tour my miss is up on that slope which it
actually kicked it down into the fairway roughly 130 yards left
so when typically swirl is just a bit on this hole for this approach shot and
does play a little uphill so I normally like to take a little extra Club choke
down on it try to flight it in there to take some of the guesswork with what the
winds doing probably should have hit that a little firmer they ended up on
the green spun just off the front edge roughly twenty-five thirty feet left
let's roll the rock we're in with the floor here all four might have played a
little too much break right there however got out of there with the par
one under through for the greens today are slightly slower than normal which
means that the putts are typically going to break a little less than when they're
quicker quicker the greens are typically the more break you will see in a putt
just something to think about for future rounds for you we're on the number 5 par
4 376 yards good course management doesn't always mean laying up sometimes
it means being aggressive in the right place here's one of those chances for me
to be aggressive I'm gonna hit driver up over the corner hopefully get up around
the green chipping maybe even on the green if we hit it really well however
my typical miss is right and that's still going to be okay if I miss it to
the right I miss here left would be no good but I rarely miss it left so this
is a great opportunity to eat high and let it fly
I did not hit that one well and that is one of those times that you're very
thankful that you didn't hit a shot well it ended up being well short of where I
typically would hit it distance wise on this hole caught a little spinny and it
was into the wind missed it outright still in the fairway we're okay we're
gonna have probably a full wedge in though
what's up sir here we are right here 118 yards left back left hole location the
shots playing about seven or eight yards uphill and with that pin location I
don't want to be super aggressive because a long miss left is no good so
anything roughly 20 feet are closer short right of the hole is a good shot
all right so here's where we ended up roughly 35 feet maybe 40 feet left could
have been probably a little more aggressive however if you look back here
that's why we didn't want to be aggressive to this pin this is a very
difficult pin still gives us an outside chance at birdie huge have not made at
length in a little while all right that's a four here on five 100 through
five today has been all about the missus controlling the misses because we
haven't hit it our best so far through five holes hoping to turn that around
here on number six 155 yards down the hill
roughly playing 140 gonna be sent in pitching wedge
the reason why controlling your missus and having good course management skills
is very important is exactly on days like today when you don't have your best
I'm not swinging out it great today but we're still scoring we're missing it in
proper places giving us the opportunity to score well even when we don't have
our best
oh how did that not fall that is likely jet hanging over the web I don't think
that's gonna fall that's a par here on six I know this saying there's no
pictures on a scorecard gets used all the time but it's such a true statement
doesn't matter how you arrive at that score
whether that's playing the low bump run when you should whether that's laying up
on a par five to the proper angle it may not be flashy but it's not the
appearance of what it looks like it's a score that matters no pictures on the
score card number seven 591 par five our aiming point is going to be that corner
green sets off back in there
this is another great opportunity to be a little aggressive we have a great
number it's a full hybrid in 250 yards typical mrs. right that'll just leave us
in the bunkers let's let it fly
well that was amiss there now left us in the bunkers let's go get it up and down
hit that bunker shot a bit too hard there's the hole and there's our ball it
hopped to like here actually had a decent amount of spin almost stopped and
then rolled down the hill and he did that up and down for par that is a bogey
here on seven and that brings us back to level par for the day played a little
hockey on the green right there not our best chipping display however it happens
forget about it it's in the past we're on number eight par three 196 yards
playing back up the hill probably playing eight to 10 yards up the hill
full 6-iron
here's where we ended up roughly 35 feet left not a bad place to be
oh that would have been a big chip bad
and that's a part here on eight I don't know if you noticed right there but I
wanted to get that ball rolling like a putt as soon as possible when I'm
practicing chipping I'll typically take like five clubs give myself a lot of
green to work with and chip from the same spot with five different clubs to
see how far I need to land it on to the green that'll give me a lot of feel for
when I'm on the course selecting the proper Club number nine par four 390
yards down the hill driver is not the play here because it'll leave us on a
downhill slope with a three-quarter lob wedge typically that is very difficult
to keep it close to the hole because you're not going to be able to get a lot
of spin off that downhill slope I'm an F for iron to that top plateau leave us a
full pitching wedge maybe 9-iron left in the degree
right but shouldn't be too bad here we are in the rough on the right side 155
yards left
ended up going nine there there was a decent amount of wind into the face
landed about pin-high but coming out of the rough it did lien firm trickled just
off the back edge let's roll the rock
it's our here on nine finish the front nine at even par one birdie one bogey
that is it for part one part two will be the back nine about to just head
straight to the tee over there but that will be in the next video upload hope
