n No. 17 at Northfi eld GC, beauty can quickly turn
into beast if the wind is blowing. When perched
on the tee about 50 feet above the green, club selection
is key. " The challenge of the hole is trying to gauge the
elevation drop with the prevailing [hurting] wind. That's what
makes it tricky, " says director of golf Mike Luckraft.
The undulating green is guarded by bunkers front left and
back right, and a creek farther left. A small grove of pines
stands behind the green. Luckraft recommends drawing the
ball in from the right, where the green opens up. From there,
you also can steer clear of the troublesome front-left bunker.
" The ball typically stops pretty well because it is coming from
such a high elevation, " says Luckraft. -Joseph Oberle

" I always try to avoid the left side, which is
where the bunker and creek can come into
play. Chipping from the left, you are going to
make more bogeys for sure. " -Mike Luckraft
