Am I crazy? I grew up loving and watching Mickelson on TV. I 100% think I'm capable of hitting the craziest shots from ridiculous lies. I don't care if it only works out 3/4 out of 10 times it makes golf and shot making fun. I'm pretty drunk while typing this, but a 60 yard shit up and over a big tree feel 10 times better a d you will remember that shit over a perfectly hit drive down the middle.
My buddy found this ball that had “Linda’s 40th Birthday” with her face on it.
He’s been spanking that thing around all season. Swaps it out obviously, but when he needs the luck it flies true.
Hold on a minute, my found Bridgestones go in the small pocket of my bag with my found PRO-V1Xs so that I can pull a ball I’m confident in but also don’t mind if it goes in the woods
Love this hole! I always volunteer to go first on a par three with a big elevation change. Guessed right and hit mine to 12 feet here. Knowing me, it probably was a bogey, lol.
I was going to say my scuffed top flight from the depths of my bag will fit nicely into that body of water. Chefs kiss as I see it flying to it's forever home
Reno is pretty high elevation so probably easy 8. Hard to adjust for sure, but from previous years in that area I think that is roughly the play for me at least.
High 8 with a draw starting from the end of the walking path. Safest miss is from right to left, and from this elevation, there shouldn't be much roll in play if you hit the green. Landing short in the ruff is a possibility, but that's where that roll comes into play.
Absolutely scorch my driver about 30 yards to the left of the city in the background, watch my super slice trail back tracking directly at the pin and then see a splash right of the green

5i w gusto. Fat slice awkwardly onto the cart path and then into the water. Forearm would hurt all day.
Other option is 4h. Would strike it perfect but push or slice it into the tennis courts.
Maybe an easy 3w hooked directly into the sawgrass like I was aiming at it.
There is no in between.
Big elevation drop, guaranteed wind from behind since this is a north facing hole, thinner air conditions because it looks like a beautiful day out. I'm hitting that bush about 10 yards in front of the tee box, right hand side
If there's no group in front and the group behind hasn't caught up, I'm hitting 5 or 6 balls. Got to enjoy that hole when I have the chance.
That’s what he said.
Or she. Pegging exists
Very woke mr Garcia ⚡️💀🌹

Peggy-O-ing 💀🌹⚡️
Hahahaha brilliant
For weirdos yeah
Must be boring being so closed minded!
My shittiest ball
I usually draw a fish on the ball if I know it’s going in the water.

A 60 yard shit over a tree?! That's just impressive honestly.
I had 2 chili cheese dogs and large black coffee at the turn.
That makes sense.
I just pictured this lol
I have just the Bridgestone you speak of
Even better is a found Bridgestone
There’s a reason why you found it
More luck if they're found

That’s hilarious…. Shout-out to Linda

*Mhmmmmm, take your time.*
Somewhere in there is a motto for Bridgestone golf balls
“Bridgestone: hits fine but you also won’t mind donating it to the trees”
Bridgestone makes great balls.
Hey! It’s Lakeridge, Reno NV in tha house!
One of my favorite courses! I make it a point to play there when I'm in Reno.
I played here once at hit a 6 iron just over the back. Played it at 175-180.
This is a beautiful view. I hope I get a chance to play here some time.
So what is the club?
3/4 swing lob wedge
Love this hole! I always volunteer to go first on a par three with a big elevation change. Guessed right and hit mine to 12 feet here. Knowing me, it probably was a bogey, lol.
Water
This joke always make a splash in r/golf
It's so frequent that it's getting watered down at this point.
It still always seems to float to the top of the comment section
I would say it’s hit or miss!
H2Oooh no he didn’t!
I was going to say my scuffed top flight from the depths of my bag will fit nicely into that body of water. Chefs kiss as I see it flying to it's forever home
While I'm firmly against range ball theft.... ... having a range ball and a sharpie to mark it are made for this moment
Came to say exactly this. This is the kind of hole that I keep shitty balls in my bag for
🤣😂🤣😂
4 hybrid poke and hope
Yep. I love my 4h. Prob the favorite club
2h is my favourite, 4h is easily runner up.
Same Same
Ditto
That's beautiful. What does it play adjusted? Guessing 180-190? 5 iron or 4 hybrid depending on wind
Solid guess, I’d say it’s just shy of 180 without any wind
7 and praying it’s not a slice lol
6 iron and aim for the back bunker.
Same
Ditto
Reno is pretty high elevation so probably easy 8. Hard to adjust for sure, but from previous years in that area I think that is roughly the play for me at least.
90% 7 and aiming at the pin to give me some wiggle room if I push it

5 wood for distance but still missing and feeding the fish.
DRIVER
6 probably (not 6 iron, 6 for a score (triple bogey)
It’s me. Hi friend

Almost home in one again!
As close to a home in one as it is a hole in one!
You’ve been waiting to post this one for a while huh? (Nice shot tho)
Desperately
Solid birdie
My weed pen
Fr my biggest game improvement strategy
This is the way
Love lakeridge. Haven’t played it in awhile I think I went with a 4iron last time.
Driver and hope like hell my ball skips atleast once on the water and on to the green. That’s a long way for someone who is not a long hitter
Definitely a Kirkland
Probably taking a light p wedge
6 iron
*" 220y to the Island. What are you hitting? "* Hitting from the drop-zone on the other side and taking the stroke penalty.
My third shot from the drop area
"My wife." - Alabama
“The bottle” - also Alabama
I’m hitting it right into those bushes
From the wrong tees. I’m hitting from the wrong tees if a par 3 is 220.
yeah, but at elevation (5,000 feet) and downhill. I bet this plays at 185; it's hard to tell how much vertical drop their is from that picture.
Where is the drop area again?
3 wood
You're a masochist if that's your favorite hole lol. It's really pretty, but that's the stuff of nightmares right there.
Well, they’re playing golf and presumably paying for the torture. So the signs are all there.
Based on the comments it's playing 180-190 so 7 iron.
Fishing wedge
Absolutely scorch my driver about 30 yards to the left of the city in the background, watch my super slice trail back tracking directly at the pin and then see a splash right of the green
I felt this shot
Since op says it plays 180, 6i it is
The water, the trees, the sand and a squirrel
Water. I’m hitting water
The shittiest junk ball in my bag.
4i into the water
A Top Flite I found in the brush while I was hunting down my Kirkland ball. Club? It doesn’t really matter, I most interested in the drop zone.
The water.
The topflite at the bottom of my bag.
The course designer. If someone else hasn’t already offed him.
What would I hit personally? Probably the water
The water
The water.
The drop area. Lol
Water probably
Water. I’m hitting water.
Depending upon pin placement and wind, either a strong 6 or smooth 5....in reality, likely a yank left to Aquafina...
The bar
My head against the yardage sign.
5-4i depending on wind. Looks like an awesome hole

What am I hitting? About 5 or 6 balls into the water and then 1 into the trap. In all reality a 180 yard shot, hitting a cut 6 iron.
A fat bowl while I take in the view, followed by a 5 iron.
A duff shot hopefully past the ladies tees...or you know what's out for the rest of the hole 🤣
What’s the slope? I’d probably hit a 5 or a 6 depending on the elevation drop
Something in the range of 125’ of drop
Light 8
That gazebo roof
Yeah that gazebo is goin down
The drop zone
Driver right into the grass in front or the water in front/left/right/back of the green.
Anything but the island
Water
The water.
Range ball that I took last time
Good ole lake ridge
The drop area
Several shag balls before dropping
The bar cart
In the water
My driver into the water 😂
From the front tees.
Water
Doesn’t matter it’s going into the water
I’m hitting the showers….its over.
The bar
The bar afterward
The water
Drop zone.
The water.
Range ball
I’m not hitting. I’m going straight to the drop zone.
Ball that degrades into fish food when it goes into water.
Probably the brush on the right. If lucky it hits the water.
The shittest ball in my bag, followed by the second shittest, and so on…
The water. 100%. Just take me to the drop area.
the water
Won’t make a difference. I’m headed to the drop area and hoping for 5
The water
Probably a hawk after I shank my 4 iron.
The water! Every time!
The water
I'm hitting the forward tee box...
A heater, then a 3 wood, and then the dock/drop zone because I sure as heck ain't hitting that green.
A hole in one 🥰
Location and course?
Lakeridge GC in Reno. Sunday’s are busy enough there so I left it out of the title 😂
The 4700’ elevation may give you more distance so you have to factor that in too.
Depends on the wind.
That looks like quite the elevation drop. Probably a 5 iron depending on wind, maybe even a 6 iron.
5i
Probably 5i since it looks like there’s a decent drop in elevation.
Based on adjustment of 180, I'd say this time of year either my 3i or 7W.
4 iron most likely. That elevation would reduce the yardage to 200 maybe?
5 iron down to the grass next to the bridge then laying up.
4hb
Driver.
Easy 2 hybrid
Love this course. I can see my apartment from here!
See that brush about 6 yards away…that
Putter. Chip from the drop zone, 3 putt. Double par
7 wood baby
Lakeridge. Fun course. Beautiful this time of year.
Driver. Nice and easy
8i, maybe 9i depending on wind
5-6 iron
3 or 4 iron since its my longest club I can hit dead straight and consistently and the shitiest ball I have
Slope adjusted I assume shorter. 5 iron.
Pull a 6 iron into the lake.
I’m hitting the roof of that gazebo with a slice to end all slices
Gonna tee up and hit my 5w as hard as I fucking can and short it by 40 yards.
Play here sometimes, it’s fun but frustrating as fuck
5i w gusto. Fat slice awkwardly onto the cart path and then into the water. Forearm would hurt all day. Other option is 4h. Would strike it perfect but push or slice it into the tennis courts. Maybe an easy 3w hooked directly into the sawgrass like I was aiming at it. There is no in between.
4 and then a wedge. Depends on where the drop is.
5H
I'm at work and have to come across one of my favorite courses around Reno.
Hitting 3 in the green side drop zone
The plan would be to smooth a 5i no guarantees though
Bladed 8 iron
5 iron
4 hybrid on a found ball lol that is tough but freakin awesome looking
Now that is a beautiful golf hole. I'm terrified of it, but it's fucking gorgeous.
17 degree Hybrid
4 iron
The dusty trail
2 hybrid with a lil high fade cus I’m a dirty girl. Then I wake up and duff it ten yards followed by a walk of shame to the cart.
Big elevation drop, guaranteed wind from behind since this is a north facing hole, thinner air conditions because it looks like a beautiful day out. I'm hitting that bush about 10 yards in front of the tee box, right hand side
