Build your own scorecard

What do you do when you play a tournament on a course you don’t know? Look at the website, check out the course layout and the scorecard and see what your playing handicap is. But what do you do when this information isn’t available online? Next saturday, we will play the 1st club championship of GC St. Pauli at Red Golf Moorfleet. The website only offers a course layout, but nothing in distances whatsoever.

So I started playing around with Google Earth and found a measuring tool that I used to explore the course:

I ended up with the following “scorecard”:

Can anybody out there that already played the course (Anke? Käthe?) verify these figures? I’ll see saturday how close I came!

    Wow, mein Club von oben :-) Ich hab zuhause noch eine Scorekarte rumliegen; ich such die mal raus. Ich weiß auswendig nur, dass das Loch 3 für Mädels 71 Meter lang ist, weil das das einzige Loch ist, auf dem ich jemals Par gespielt habe. (Für Kerle 78.) Das kommt deiner Berechnung schon verdammt nahe, würd ich mal sagen.

    Ach, stimmt, für myscore hatte ich mich irgendwann mal registriert und es dann auch gleich vergessen…., Naja, dann war ich wohl “fast” dran.

    Freu mich auf morgen!

    Wie prakisch, muss ich die blöde Karte nicht mehr suchen.

    [...] The course is rather short, from yellow it only measures 2.550 meters (see individual hole lenghts here), but I didn’t think it was that narrow like I heard beforehand. The 9 hole course of GC Kallin is harder in that aspect. Scenically it is quite pleasant with big trees and reed lining the fairways, but it surely isn’t a challenge to the proficient golfer. Only on hole six did I have to think about ball placement, on all other holes (except the 79m par 3 third) I’d just let it rip. The par 4 eigth is probably the most boring, 316 meters straight ahead with a fairway flat as a snooker table. [...]

 

Say something!
