How are you feeling? The back nine and Hole number 10

Well, how are you feeling at this stage? How have you done on your scoring? Have you threatened the course record at the halfway point?
Of course the reality is that it doesn't really matter! If you know the course well then you know you have just played nine beautiful golf holes, all different and all presenting their own challenges. If you are new to Gowran Park then you will undoubtedly have enjoyed the front nine and be looking forward to more of the same. You are not about to be disappointed.
Sometimes depending on whats going on it is possible to get a burger at the starters hut (not a common occurrence though) and although the locker rooms are not far away there is a toilet block available near the tenth tee box. So lets move on to the back nine. Unusually enough you are about to play another par 3 (two together...yeah I know) but this one as with all other holes in Gowran makes you stop and think about what you are going to do. Have a look at the picture...go on then come back to me.
Right so. Looks simple enough and as with all things if you play it right it is available to birdie, but you will have to take account of the course and the conditions. The breeze plays a big role here so allow for it and the hole is starkley downhill so again allow for this with club selection. Bunkers on the left and tough rough on the right with a rather large tree for those that are wayward and have over clubbed it.
The hole is a good birdie shout so aim to get one here.
As always all comments are very welcome. Let me know  what you think
