Nirwana Bali Golf Hole

28 02 2010

18-hole par 72 golf course designed by professional golfer  Greg Norman. Asia’s most spectacular golf course with  holes carved through rice paddies, alongside creeks, and with three holes played along cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Hole 1. 383 yards, Par 4

Start with a reliable fairway wood aimed across the rice paddies and right of the cavernous bunkers will get you  away. From here the hole bends steeply downhill to a well guarded green with hazards at the back and left. Shots short and right will kick to the green.

Hole 2. 188 yards, Par 3

The green is three clubs deep so check pin position and wind to select the correct club. A creek threatens the left  side of the green, so favor the right and the ball will tend to run to the centre.

Hole 3. 400 yards, Par 4

An Uphill drive towards the right bunker will avoid sand on the left and reach awide open plateau. A creek running in front guards the approach shot, rice paddies left and wetlands short. This contoured green will need an accurate read to ensure a par!

Hole 4. 439 yards, Par 4

Aim at the distant bunkers and hit a long draw to the wide fairway. The long second shot across a gentle  valley takes on the wildly dramatic bunkers guarding the right side of the green. An opportunity to lay up on the left side and chip on for the high handicapper, is always an option.

Hole 5. 441 yards, Par 4

Now’s the time for your best drive across the valley to a saddled fairway avoiding the temple on the right. Right  side hole location will require a shaped shot to escape landing in the green side bunker.

Hole 6. 501 yards, Par 5

A brave shot across the bunkers on the left of the fairway brings the green into range for the second. The  hole doglegs to the left and continues dramatically downhill, directly to the ocean. Judge the wind carefully and club to be on the same level as the hole on this small green.

Hole 7. 214 yards, Par 3


Amongst the most dramatic holes in world golf. Check the wind direction carefully when playing from the tee to the fairway across the Indian Ocean. The secret is not to be short.

Hole 8. 544 yards, Par 5


Normally downwind, the longest hole on the course demands a well struck tee shot left of the fairway  bunkers. Take advantage of the slopes in the fairway and lay right. Deep greenside bunkers left and OB at the back make this small green a difficult target to hit.

Hole 9. 388 yards, Par 4


Position your tee shot at the top of the hill to the right of the fairway bunker. A short approach across a deep valley  and river must be well struck with confidence to find the green set below. Check the distance and accept the challenge.

Hole 10. 445 yards, Par 5


Best shot is a long fade across the creek to the undulating fairway. A spectacular second shot down hill  to a green set across the river is your reward. It’s all carry to this green. Safe play is to lay up short left, chip on and walk with par.

Hole 11. 211 yards, Par 3


A big target to hit. Favour the left side of the green for safety and avoid trouble right in the huge  bunkers. Carefully read the subtle burrows in this green. Bonus for selecting the correct club will be a birdie putt.

Hole 12. 381 yards, Par 4


A great short hole along a ridge with Balinese temples and a river to the right. Aim your tee shot at the  last house avoiding the bunkers. Anything right will be blocked. A downhill short iron to an island green that sits on a rock shelf in the ocean demands respect.

Hole 13. 337 yards, Par 4


A deceptively difficult short par 4. A strong wind behind may tempt you to carry the ocean with your drive to get  close to the green. The safe tee shot is played to the valley between the bunkers, leaving a low punch shot into the elevated open green. Good club selection is important.

Hole 14. 186 yards, Par 3


The Shark tee is surrounded by the ocean for this intimidating shot across the beach to the cliff top green.  It is all carry from here, so check the wind and take enough club. A gentle hole from the Resort and Forward tees with the ocean as a backdrop.

Hole 15. 447 yards, Par 4


Play a fade up the valley from the tee, keeping out of trouble of the left side bunkers. The hole sweeps  uphill to an elevated green. Plenty of sand short and right of the green. Play your second to allow your ball to bounce in from the left.

Hole 16. 431 yards, Par 4


A generous landing area for your drive, rewarding longer hitters with runs from the downhill slope. Lay up  unless you are confident of carrying the creek in front of the green. Bail out area is left side, avoiding the right green side bunker and temple at the back.

Hole 17. 349 yards, Par 4


Aim straight at the big bunker on the left side avoiding the creek right off the tee.  This is a positional shot with a long iron or fairway wood, setting up a short approach to a tight green. A good hole to attack, but beware the creek in front, it can be dangerous!

Hole 18. 520 yards, Par 5


A great finishing hole. Aim right centre from the elevated tee to this undulating fairway. The hole sweeps  downhill to a creek which crosses in front of the green and continues up the right side. Only the very long will attempt this in two. Lay up to the left and pitch close with your approach.

Four Tricky Moves

25 02 2010

Here is a drill that will instantly tell you whether you need to learn the Four Tricky Moves to Winning Golf.

If you swing the club too far to the inside during your backswing this drill will inform you. Most amateurs pull the club to the inside during the backswing putting the swing immediately off plane. The result is a golf swing that is too planed.

The Back to Wall Drill:

This drill will tell you if you have overly plane swing. First and principal, check your ball point and your distance to the ball at address, as this sign is the most common cause of a pole. Remember! ; try to work on fitting your basics first before using drills to fix your problems. Most swing faults start with poor fundamentals.

Now find a wall that you can set up too. Have your butt approximately six inches away from the wall. To take a full swing with the wall in the way your path will need to become more upright. Take gradual swings to start, and act on getting to the top and back to the ball without hitting the wall. It should feel different, but all new movements do. Work on swinging gradually until you can make a full swing without making contact with the wall. Master this drill until you can do it every time without hitting the wall.

The early backward wrist break teaches you something pros never do – How to break the wrists during the back swing!

Play well.
