what's up everyone we're here on hole 9 590 foot par 4 here at mulligan's golf course here in ogden utah we're here for the 2021 world championships and i'm gonna probably throw one of my iblend emperors but before i get into that we gotta break down the hole we have ob right along the whole right side and then there's nothing ob left but we do have a line of trees so if your driver does skip to the left you may have to play around those but if you want to play to the left side for a forehand route for your second shot you can i personally like throwing dead straight down the fairway to have a nice hyzer approach to the basket you do have the sand traps next to the basket but if you throw something over stable they don't usually come into play let's see how i break it down right now there's not a lot of wind but i have played in some very windy windy conditions here so i'm going to be throwing my understable eye blend emperor at this moment but if there is a headwind during the actual event i will be going with the more overstable i'm 210 feet away from the pin i got sand traps on the right side of the basket and then i have some trees on the left so if i do skip left i may have to putt around them we'll see i'm going to aim high and let it dump left to the basket and hopefully i won't get too much ground play and i'll have a putt for my birdie 3. so my upshot with my innovative star avr x3 ended up right next to the basket i would love for that to happen every round but sometimes it won't um there is some danger when you get up to the green i could be i could have been maybe a little bit farther out and had more of a putt and then i have to worry about the sand trap behind the basket or i may have ended up behind the tree and i have to put around the tree so really depends where you land obviously parking it is the best outcome ever but uh you have to be ready for anything out here thank you all for...
