Do you tee off in a helicopter?

Gee, from 10 stories high.....you need needle-nose pliers to extract your ball from the green.

Re: Do you tee off in a helicopter?

Tweeks ago I played a course that had a gorge carry par three that was considerably below the tee box...I plugged 5 cm deep in the ground in the greenside rough...I will take a photo of the hole the next time I play but will admit while a very scenic hole not my favorite style of layout...

Re: Do you tee off in a helicopter?

That course looks pretty insane, 7746 from the tips! I dont understand how in the world anyone can play to par at those yardages with the coastal winds. The course is only about 30 mins from my house, ill probably go and check it out during the summer twilight when the rates go down to somewhat reasonable rates.

Re: Do you tee off in a helicopter?

Speaking of teeing off in a helicopter, look at this par 3 at Wolf Creek in Nevada

Re: Do you tee off in a helicopter?

So does that make hole #8 the highest point in the state of Florida?
