Hole 2 - Shetland*
Par: 3 (Three)
Yardage: 138 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 9th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,950 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Peaceful pond at your center and right. Black and Blue tees must fly the water. White and Yellow tees can cheat to the left but must contend with a grass bunker guarding the front left of the green.
Professional Advice: What water? Take one more club as water will not help the ball stay in flight, quite the opposite. Put the ball in the center of this and all greens. If you set it in the middle, you are half-way to the hole. Don't shoot at flags on the edges, they are not called sucker pins for nothing! Especially on this hole.
*The Shetland pony is a breed of pony originating in the Shetland Isles located northeast of mainland Scotland. Shetlands range in size from a minimum height of approximately 28 inches to an official maximum height of 42 inches at the withers. For its size, the Shetland is the strongest of all horse and pony breeds. It can pull twice its own weight under normal circumstances.
A short broad back and deep girth are universal characteristics as is a springy stride. Shetland ponies are generally gentle, good-tempered, and very intelligent by nature. They make good children's ponies, and are sometimes noted for having a "brave" character, but can be very impatient, snappy, and sometimes become uncooperative. American Shetland Ponies are more refined than the traditional Shetland. They often have a long, thin neck, a more refined body, and longer legs. Photo and article by Wikipedia.org
