Hello Wie Nation:  Wow!…Too much activity and excitement yesterday…Meet up with Wiefan for 3 hours and it took me 6 hours to recuperate…I wonder what would happen if I ever meet up with Michelle?  Wiefan is a very interesting and knowledgeable person…He tried to give me another “Itis”…Kenoistis….But, I’m too slow and impatient to catch Kenoistis…Although, I was in a rush to try out his Keno Theory…Jury is still out… Anyway… It’s time for Michelle to catch Winistis… Michelle is paired with Suzann Pettersen and Stacy Lewis and they tee off at 8:54 AM PM from the back nine…In about one hour. Tee time weather: 9 AM High 68° Sunny FEELS LIKE: 68° HUMIDITY: 76% PRECIP:10% WIND: Calm Great weather this morning, Michelle, so let’s have some exciting sailing on this golf course today… Going to check leader board… Back shortly |

Ok, here we go…
WIE, Michelle …E…T11
PETTERSEN, Suzann…E…T11
LEWIS, Stacy…E…T11
Up first…
Hole 10...Par 5:..474 YDS
If you hit a good tee shot, the approach may well be with a medium long iron because you are with the prevailing wind. The creek winds its way across the fairway, but it is really not in play. There is some trouble around the green, but it is a definite birdie chance.
Michelle, I’m doing something different on Play by Play…So, let’s you do the same…
Michelle, let’s start with an Eagle today…The Big Bang Theory”
Go Michelle go

Eleven can be disastrous with the creek. It seems to break up the perception of length because it is slightly uphill. Beware. Club selection is everything, especially if the hole is back right. Much like twelve on Witch Hollow and that other twelve at Augusta, getting on the stick when the hole is back left takes some courage and talent.
michelle this is another birdie hole...let's take advanage of these par 3's and par 5's

Hole 12...Par 4:..406 YDS
Twelve shows you the line off the tee, but the tendency is to try to cut the corner that is not a high percentage shot. A little drifter down by the bunkers on the left side of the fairway works well. The green has a nose that juts into the putting surface from the left and separates the back flagstick. If you don’t hit it well off the tee and the flagstick is in the back you might be better advised to just play to the middle of the green and take four. When the hole is in the back, the best approach is from as close to the green as possible. In other words, grip it and rip it, or just play for par.
Michelle, grip it and rip it and play for a birdie

Thirteen can give up some shots, but don’t get it off line on the tee shot or you’ll find yourself hitting some trick shots to get on. If the flagstick is back, it’s best not to be too bold because over the back is a likely bogey. It falls away and when a shot comes in to a target higher than where the shot was hit, it’s in the top of the arc and hits the green at a lower angle, like a longer club.

Fourteen is the introduction to a stretch of holes that were designed specifically for championship use. It is a long downhill par three that plays tough. It is followed by three holes where the scores can go in either direction depending on the player’s courage or degree of desperation.
Desperation...Michelle...focus...hit the fairways and hit the greens

Fifteen can yield some birdies and your chances are enhanced if you play up around the tee shot bunker to the right fairway bunker on the second shot. This will put you in position to play into the slope of the green with a short iron. The green is not complicated.
See that michelle...the green is not complicated...Let's get a birdie on the par 5

Sixteen is intended to be one of those devilish par threes that entices you to shoot directly at the flagstick that might be just a little too dangerous (especially if the wind is blowing.) Over the back here is a sure bogey. It’s downhill so over-clubbing is a real possibility.
See that michelle...No over-clubbing...it's a short par 3...only 125yds

Seventeen is perfectly placed for championship use. Those who play safe may perhaps criticize the hole, commenting that it is too short. Those players will probably make a par. If you want to make three, you need to go after it with a driver. Players walk away from seventeen either completely pumped or totally devastated. At the 1994 NIKE TOUR Championship, Mike Schuchart double-bogeyed this hole in the final round yet still prevailed to win the championship.
let's grip and rip the driver Michelle

On the tee at eighteen, all you have to do is hit a perfect drive about four miles and then a long iron into the prevailing wind with water on the right side of the green, just to get on the big dance floor and hope for a par. As a matter of fact, some may be more aggressive at seventeen just to make up for what they might do at eighteen.
Ok, Michelle, let's go dancing....birdie dancing

Ghost Creek starts tough with a bigger than normal hole, a par four of near maximum length with a large green that is difficult because it is raised. Over the back would make for a poor start. The hollow behind the green is six feet deep in places.
Ok Michelle we are at Even par to start the back nine front nine
