Completely agree on 10 - hit it to 170 away, so that if you go right, which is easy to do, trying to keep away from the trees on the left, you're not blocked by the trees on the right, which can happen if you hit it too far. The green on 10 is a hard green to hold and most people seem to have trouble putting it, but I've made a ton of birdies on that hole with 10-30 foot putts over the years.
When I was younger and playing a lot, I'd always try to carry the creek on 12 and probably did so about 50% of the time - definitely makes it a potential eagle hole. Made a few eagles there over the years, especially when the pin was down low. Also made my share of 8's when my drive found the creek or the woods on the right. Classic risk-reward hole.
And completely agree on 8 - that hole killed many of my rounds - no idea why I rarely scored well on that hole, as it doesn't look that hard.
I usually did well on 3, though. In fact, that was the hole I came closest to an ace on. Hit a 6-iron from 175 and it landed 2 feet in front of the hole and hopped once and checked up, 6" behind the hole. I was so happy when I got up there that I threw my 6-iron towards my bag while I tapped in my birdie and then a few holes later, realized I left my 6-iron off the green. I asked a couple of the groups behind me and nobody said they saw it. When I mentioned what happened, to Whitey, at the turn, he took a ride in the cart and asked all the golfers behind us and nobody fessed up to keeping my friggin' 6-iron. That was annoying. All those rounds and no aces. Have sunk about 5-6 full iron shots from the fairway (in the 140-190 yard range), though, which is almost the same, but not quite.
Time to get back out there, lol. Last year was the first year in 35 years that I didn't play a round of golf. Will be lucky to break 95.
