BEND OF THE RIVER GC
As an early riser, I decided I would play the "4 hole practice loop" at Pineneedles this morning while my wife slept in. The practice loop here consists of three par threes, and one par 4. All of these holes have greens about the size of a "nickel".

I decided to play a match against myself with 2 golf balls and because I am such a "long hitter" (don't I wish) I played as far back as I could on each tee box.

Here are the course specifics:

Hole #1"Straight" - Par 3 160 yards
Hole #2 "Wee" - Par 3 113 yards
Hole #3 "Gibraltar" - Par 4 278 yards
Hole #4 "Postage Stamp" - 127 yards

BTW, I was not able to hit any green, err postage stamps, on any hole with either ball, BUT I tied myself at 1 over!

Enjoy the pics:

thats a nice option to have! Small greens will really sharpen up your game. I know because I play 9 holes every Thursday on a course filled with small greens. It really puts a premium on course management. A pain to play but great practice.
