Not to be outdone by his brother, Gary McLaughlin was playing the same round of golf at the Slieve Russell Golf and Country Club, Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan, Ireland. Gary is playing a different Par 3 and as all golfers do, hoped for an elusive hole-in-one!
The thrill of playing a Par 3 is always the same. Every player has the hope and confidence that they will hit that perfect shot that will provide a lifetime of bragging rights! Here is what Gary had to contend with last year:
From the looks of the picture, the hole is about 160 yards (center of the green), no elevation change from the tee to the green. The pin is located in the back right. The wind is blowing straight in his face and looks like it will affect the shot by a half a club.
You are playing well and need a birdie to keep your awesome round going! What do you do?
Let us know where you aim, if you play safe, what type of ball shape you would want, and what club you would use! We all want to know!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Aloha Jim,
That would be a high 7-iron aimed directly at the pin. It would land center of the green and roll toward the pin — of course the water, rock and 40 footer are just as likely.
A Hui Hou,

We always have to have a plan. I like your 7 iron and roll out to the pin…and in for an ace!
Cheers

Smooth 7 iron aimed at the middle of the green with a slight draw (for a lefty!) to the back right pin. The 6 footer for birdie drops 😉
Cheers

That is definitely the way to play the hole. I was thinking of skipping my ball of the water, hit a rock onto the edge of the green and sink a 40 footer for birdie! What do you think?
