The Peek’n Peak Resort<\/a><\/strong> welcomes the Web.Com Tour<\/strong><\/a> to the southern Tier of New York State for the Lecom Health Challenge<\/strong><\/a>. The back nine opens with three realistic opportunities for birdie or eagle. Perhaps the reasoning is, the outward was once the inward. When the Upper Course (the Lower Course no longer exists) was opened, the nines were reversed. Embracing a commitment to the gentle handshake<\/em>, PKNPKUC opened with 3 gracious holes. Driver not required on now-10 and now-12, and good enough to get you within shouting distance of eagle on now-11. For the professionals, an opening nine may be enhanced, or at the very least, commuted, by a savage start to the second half. Let’s have a look at those holes.<\/p>\n

Hole 10<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The former first is an example of the looks-hard-plays-fair<\/em> variety. The fairway moves gently left, but is shouldered by trees of height and depth. Secret? Don’t hit driver. Bunt a fairway metal into the fairway, and you’ll have no more than hybrid into the green. You say that there’s a wetland between you and the green? Lay up and do your work with the wedge to save par. So many golfers with the all or nothing<\/em> strategy; take what the course gives you and make a score. As for the pros on the Web.Com tour … well, they will do the same thing, except they will stick in close for birdie, and move on.<\/p>\n
