Rochester: Practice (Scorekeeping) at MCC

August 14, 2014 at MCC
After 2 years, I re-visited MCC with a friend. This is a short local course with water hazards (creek and ponds). There are two sets of holes, yellow and black (professional). We played the first 15 yellow holes actively, then the darkness descended so we threw cautiously short throws for 16 & 17, and walked hole 18 from the tee to the pin in the dark.

Most of the holes are 275 feet to 325 ft. I will plus/minus distance where appropriate
Hole1 : Water to Right/ Nice Forearm Drive, Short up (behind rocks), Up and Putt. +1
Hole2: Water to Right/ Nice backhand, to water then fade to left, Up and Putt (par)
Hole3: Short, water to left, Sidearm drive to pin, Short Putt *(-1)*
Hole4: Straight to pin on hill: Tree Crash on Backhand Drive, Approach to right, Approach to left, Long Putt +1
Hole5: Trees to right, Reeds and Creek to left. Forearm to fairway, wind to approach to reeds in water, recovered and long putt. Par
Hole6: Hill over creek and reeds, basket to right: Short Forearm before creek and reeds, tree crash approach, another approach and putt +1
Hole7: Long, basket on hill to left. Long sidearm drive, nice approach and putt (par)
Hole8: Short bending to right: Long slanted forearm drive to right, bad position, tree crash on approach, another approach, medium putt +1
Hole9: Straight over pond, Monster sidearm drive to right (hitting rocks on hole 10!), approach, and putt. (par)
Hole10: Short, Pond to right, Basket tucked behind trees: Low accurate backhand drive, approach and short putt (par)
Hole11: Basket to right in trees behind MCC sign: Drive to sign ! Cement crash. Approach to right, Approach to left, putt.+1
Hole 12: Long hole in right corner, open fairway blocked by tree. Sidearm Drive barely over tree, good approach and good putt (par!)
Hole 13: Narrow lane slants to basket right Nice approach, still in lane, tree crash approach, approach and putt +1
Hole 14: Drive out of trees, Basket slightly to right. Nice drive, approach to right, aprraqoch to left, putt.+1
Hole15: Straight ahead: Sidearm drive to trees, replaced to fairway, near approach (almost basket clank), and putt (par, counted as +1)

Hole16: Narrow lane curving to left, basket on hill to left.
Hole17: Basket to left, pine trees blocking basket and to right, water behind
Hole18: Heavily Wooded

Final (15 holes) , +7


Highlights: Excellent driving and putting.
 
Lowlights: Some approach shots were short and to the right.

This is a nice course. I want to play the black baskets next.
