Peransang Templer 2005 Score card 


Review on last visit :

Hole 1
You are tested on the first hole, either to wack it hard and make the ball travel right to left. If you choose a fairway wood , it will be a bit safer and left with about 160 meter to the pin . The green is a bit elevated. However if you hit the bunker with your second shot , reaching the green would be a bit tricky.

Hole 2
I love this par 3. Never failed to nail the green but always penalised for not having a good putting routine. If you are pin high , it will difficult to putt downhill. Hitting the green pin low will leave you with uphill putt.

Hole 3
Not for those who tee off wildly to left and right. If you can't hit a good straight shot with a driver , so be it . Take a 3 wood or even a 5 iron . A par 4 with 354 m to the pin on the blue tee. Be extra careful with the trees on the right. Anything on the fairway on the left is the best option. The green is a bit elevated guarded by two big bunkers on the front and back left. The green is sloping from the left to the right but elevated to the back right.

Hole 4
It is a short par 4 and I did not use my driver on the tee. It depend on how much your driver can carry your shot from the tee. If your tee shot carry over 200 m , by all means use 3 wood.Bamboo trees on the right is to be avoided, if not it will definitely shoot over par.
The green is a bit tricky though. YOur view from the 150 m mark might lead you to use a 7 iron . But lo and behold , you might need a club higher. The green is sloping upright from the front to the end. It is well guarded by two bunkers on the right and another one on the left.
A punch shot with 6 iron with intention to run the ball to the pin would be a good choice.

Hole 5
Do not hesitate to use the dirver. If you are stuck in between the trees on the left , get the ball back to the fairway. However if you can manipulate a low trajectory shot thru the trees by all means go for it. I did. I hit the driver with weak left grip and ended well left under the high trees. I took iron 4 and punch the ball thru the trees and reach the 100m mark.
However , it can be a bit tricky on this yardage. At the 100 m mark you have high trees on the left. The green is however on the open space. It might be a bit tricky to gauge whether the wind factor comes into play. Look at the trees far left close the hole 6 tee.

to be continue....just got back from playing another 18...
