T
here is a grow-the-game movement afoot to
play more nine-hole rounds, and Fort Snelling
is a great place to do so. There are challenging
holes at the old course, and the drivable 7th is one of them.
This short, dogleg right looks enticing on the scorecard,
but pro Billy Lewis says there's plenty of risk for reward on
the short par 4.
Played conventionally around the dogleg, it's 240 yards, but
Lewis goes right at it-a 215-yard shot over trees from the tee
straight to the green. The green is protected by a pond short right, OB left
and a bunker back left. A tucked-back right pin can make things interesting.
" I am aggressive and enjoy the challenge to make a two or three, " Lewis
says. " But if you go for the green and hit it bad, you are going to put up big
numbers. " -Joseph Oberle

" Hit about a 150 yard shot and
you'll have about 100 yards left
to the green. That's the safest
way to play it. " -Billy Lewis
