Many may frown at holes with temporary greens. But our experience during our last round resulted in a birdie and an eagle, both on temporary greens! So today we were faced with two more temporary greens and the result was amazing…two more birdies!
First one was on Ruby 4 (Par 4), where a 250 yard drive left us only 65 yards to the temporary green. A 60˚ wedge left me with a downhill nine footer with a severe right to left break. One putt.
The next temporary green was on the Par 3 8th, also on Ruby. It was another foggy day at Discovery Bay and so we couldn’t see the green. What we thought was too right actually right on the small green and we were faced with a three foot but bumpy downhill putt…bounced left and then right to make it into the hole. One putt.
Seems like we’ll embrace temporary greens from now on.
