The Challenge Strategy

Round 1

Holes: 15, 16, 17, 18, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Us: J. Kuss (13), C. Woodall (16)

Them: M. Trilk (17), S. McAleer (13)

Stroke Breakdown

• C. Woodall: 3 total strokes
• M. Trilk: 4 total strokes

Match Strategy

First round, we only give one extra stroke — which means we just play consistently. We play some tough holes: 16 and 2 come to mind right away where opponents can fall behind quickly.

Smart tee shots allow us to start and end the round in the driver's seat.

• Hole 16: No strokes — tough uphill green with a creek in front; many balls find the hazard. Our approach: just get top side. Smooth tempo swing. If we hit the green, great — 2 putt. If we miss, bogey is still in play. Okay to lose this hole — no pressure.
• Hole 3: A short par 5 that can become a pressure hole quickly. Get off good tee shots, don't force going for it in two. On in 3 gives us birdie look or a smooth par.
• Hole 4: No such thing as a bad tee shot here, only a bad lie. Nobody strokes, so the second shot is key.
• Hole 5: Jonathan's side bitch. Play with confidence.

Key of the match: Holes 15–18 — we already shot even par there collectively. No need to be a hero. Make pars. Let them chase with birdies.

Goal: 5 – 6 points

Round 2

Holes: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

Us: J. Kuss (13), C. Woodall (16)

Stroke Breakdown

• C. Woodall: 4 total strokes
• J. Kuss: 1 total stroke
• D. Meyer: 6 total strokes

Match Strategy

Practice 140–160 yard shots before the round due to par 3s. This round we give only 2 extra strokes. Stay consistent, especially since the 9 holes this round are harder. Focus on being strong on par 3s. No hero tee shots—keep the ball in play and leave open second shots. Smart strategy wins.

• Hole 6: We both get strokes—stay in play, net birdie is target
• Hole 10: Long par 4—safe tee shot, decide if attack or layup
• Holes 12 & 13: Smart and simple. GIR on 12, smart layup on 13
• Par 3s: Middle of green, smooth tempo, no pressure shots

Key: Par 3s are critical—win or halve. Avoid mistakes on tough holes.

Goal: 4.5 to 5 points

• G. Lundquist: 10 total strokes

Match Strategy

Could be our toughest match, communication is key. Greg will get 10 strokes every hole plus 2 on hole 6. Our plan needs to be based on him. We have 3 par 3s we need to stay competitive on these. Hole 9 we need to be close, that simple if he gets it on the green we are aggressive based on seeing how he has been putting. The key is Greg can we get him drunk? How does he actually play. Hole 5 our first hole is a feeler hole we maintain hit the fairway and Chris needs to go for par on this for net birdie. Hole 6 we put pressure on him with his 2 extra strokes we need one of us to have GIR birds would be great but not worth jeopardizing an easy par communication is key here, this means tee shot is on fairway.

Smart tee shots allow us to start and end the round in the driver's seat.

• Hole 5: Chris needs to be able to par this hole, Jonathan play the safe game no big drive needed just GIR par
• Hole 6: Safe fairway is crucial for both, we communicate after tee shots confirm if either has chance to get on the green, a layup and up and down can still halve the hole.
• Hole 8: We play 3 smart shots fairway is all that matter run the ball 120 yards each time would be just fine.
• Hole 10: Critical that we our finger on the pulse we stroke do we need to be aggressive with one tee shot or play safe will just be fine
• Par 3s: We have 3 par 3s we need to stay competitive on these holes

Key of the match: This is a tough match and our biggest opportunity to win based on team play, strong communication, and understanding our opponent. Win hole 5 and halve hole 6 pressure is on them.

Goal: 4+ points is great!!

Round 5

Holes: 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,1,2

Us: J. Kuss (13), C. Woodall (16)

Them: T. Glime (8), R. Voorhies (21)

Stroke Breakdown

• C. Woodall: 8 total strokes
• J. Kuss: 5 total strokes
• R. Voorhies: 13 total strokes

Match Strategy

Could be our toughest match, communication is key. Randy will get 13 strokes total and 4 holes getting 2 strokes. We get a good start on this match 12 is something we can par and halve at worse along with showing our style of tee shots to fairway then GIR. Hole 13 & 14 we both stroke, lets get some fairway shots and determine how aggressive we can get from there. Two fairway shots establish the key option one of us go aggressive and strive for net birdie the other take a safer approach and net par. Hole 13 tough green so even if we get on in 3 we have chances for net birdie or par. Again, communicating on these two holes will really help out.

Allow this to transition over to 15 -18 we have strokes and we apply pressure of having tee shots that setup 2nd shots. There are 5 total holes we both stroke the pressure is on them while Randy gets 2 strokes we have more combined scoring chances. We find the fairways and by hole 16 all the pressure is placed on the "A" we hit fairways eliminating the "B" player and our par chances give us net birdies forcing their hand.

Smart tee shots allow us to start and end the round in the driver's seat.

• Hole 12: Start strong GIR is key, halve this hole and we get strokes for the next 8.
• Hole 13 & 14: Establish tee shots on fairway and lets talk it out.
• Hole 15 – Hole 2: Get on fairway then talk it out.

Key of the match: This is a tough match and once more a big opportunity to win based on team play, strong communication, and understanding our opponent. We play our game and find our pars and reverse the pressure when possible. We can establish dominance in the first 3 holes and place them in a position to play out of character.

Goal: 5+ points is great!!
