T
he driveable 13th at The
Quarry is an expanse of
rugged beauty that is tantalizing
for big hitters. But
excellent design makes proper
positioning off the tee a better
option.
From an elevated tee, the
fairway, split by a bunker, features
a larger landing area to
the right. Giants Ridge director
of golf, John Kendall, says
the club choice on the tee is
critical.
" I have used a driver and a 7
iron off the tee on this hole-
and everything in between, "
Kendall says.
The large, elevated green is
undulating and features a ridge
in the middle, making chipping
and putting diffi cult. Putting
too aggressively (or chipping
short) to a front hole location
can result in a ball rolling off
the green's false front.
" To get a good view of the
green and hole location you
need to be at least 110 yards
from the green, " Kendall says,
just before hitting the green's
center with his tee ball 295
yards away. -Joseph Oberle
TIPS FROM THE PROS
Two (Club) Heads Are
Better Than One
The two-club drill can provide plenty
of feedback on your swing.

nstructors use drills to convey a feel to their students and accelerate the
learning process. I prefer drills that have multiple uses and involve a swinging
motion. One of my favorites is to swing two clubs together with each arm.
Wedges work best because they are short and heavy. Start with waist-high
(back) to waist-high swings (in front) to feel the balance of the clubs and
progressively build to a bigger swing. Things to take from this are:
" Proper swing plane and weight transfer
" Tempo
" How the clubface rotates during the swing
Feel the swing and make it yours.
