HOLE 2

Hole 2: 100m-120m depending on pin position. 2 left bunkers n 2 right bunkers. Huge but flat green

HOLE 3


Hole 3: index hole, abt 360m, dog-leg left, OB left from tee to green, hazard right, long hitter (200m above) need to aim at building left of the red lolllipod, if not sure kenna hazard. Bogey is a good score. There are too many penalties in play for this hole. Thus, managed this hole properly. Play smart.

HOLE 4


Hole 4: 230m par4, hazard left n right, play abt 200m, left with a 20-30m chip to the hole, avoid right at all cost, if pin is blue, need to pay left fw so that the hole opens out for your approach, if right, u need to lob over a tall tree to get to the pin......i never cheong this hole

Hole 5: 80m par3, depending on wind, varies from SW-PW, but i always play 1 club more (swing easy), overclub still can find ball, if short ball is likely wet n gone

HOLE 6


Hole 6: Par 5, shortest par 5. Left bunker is about 210m to clear, right bunker is about 200m to clear. Both bunkers will not trouble the long hitters. Can choose to layup before the 100m left bunker or go beyond the is bunker. Water is in play on the right after the 150m mark. Possible for 2 on for selected few. But conservative play is to play the 2nd shot before the greenside bunker on the left. Nice chipping area for 1 chip 1 putt.

HOLE 7


Hole 7: Par 4 dog-leg right. Can take aim at the red lollipod for all hitters. There are 2 bunkers on the left, about 200m for the 1st bunker n 210m for the 2nd bunker. For the slicer, u can borrow the 8th hole fw, still can attack the green, provided not in the 8th hole bunker.

HOLE 8


Hole 8: Par 4, abt 340m, straight hole with right bunker (200m) n left bunker (210-230m). Right bunker will not be in play for most hitters but there are trees lining the fw after the bunkers. Alternatively, slicers can still pass the right bunkers n borrowed the 7th hole fw. Just avoid bunkers n trees. There is a big front bunker protecting most of the green. If u choose not to cheong the green, can always layup right of the greenside bunker (make sure u have the right distance n not go into the bunker), there will be a nice chipping area waiting.

HOLE 9


Hole 9: Par 5, longest par 5 of the course, right bunker abt 230m, there will be another fw bunker on the right (100m mark). Both sides of fw lined with trees. Make sure your ball on the fw to attackk the pin. Green is protected by left n right bunker. Avoid RIGHT bunker at all cost. This bunker can make u play a 10 if not careful.

HOLE 10


Hole 10: par5, 230m to reach water cutting across the fw, right bunker need 210m to clear, if play 190m-200m, your fw will be very big, u need to get 2nd shot over the stream that cuts through the fw, if no confidence, just layup to the water....its ok

HOLE 11


Hole 11: par4, left hazard right OB, long hitter (210m) can clear the bunker (pot-bunker) in the center of the fw, if not avoid this bunker, u cant attack the pin from this bunker

HOLE 12

to all Kranji expert: Need your advice.

Hole #10...fm the layout details, fm tee to water is 230m. But my last game, I tee off,....and shoudl be around the 180-190mark...meaning 40m to clear water......choon boh????.but fm my 2nd shot, its macam damm far leh....so I hit my hybrid which is tpically 150m carry....but ball cant find...so i tot water.

can help to clarify the 230m distance?

wah lau eh ... bro duval.... it's 230m to water and 280m to carry water, which only JBLow can do it ...

tats my point, my drive should be around the 180m...meaning I should have 230-180+40 = 90m to carry over water.....but that day, fm my 2nd shot, it looks still bloody far le.

hmmm...ok...then I conclude that my drive is only 110m....WAH PIANG!!!!!! Need to take steriod liao in that case

D.... you must always remember, Slinger's manual and carry distance refers to fairway only. And from the edge of the fairway to the water, its another 30-40m. plus the canal, another 20m at least... so hope that clarifies yor doubt. DUn worry, tomorrow i help you shoot the distance..... normally for that hole, just use the maximum club you can use for the 2nd shot. 3rd shot is purely left for attacking the pins so shorter the club, the better.

so dezzz!!!!

NB, stupid me....people give secret manual (simi Nine Goat manual)....also can interpret wrongly.....and twice in a row somemore....played Kranji twice, twice also go water on 2nd shot.....

who ask you use PW to cross the water.. use at least a 8 iron lah.

this friday, are we supposed to play from white tee?

for long hitters, tee shot may go straight into water if from white tee especially if hit gd shot and with back wind. this hole is quite prone to having back wing. in addition, it slope down towards the water hazard some 10-20 m before the hazard.

for those high handicappers and playing this hole as 1st hole, will be a gd idea to lay up if tee shot not too gd. unless u hit a gd 2nd shot, u may not be able to get 3-on so no point to "cheong."

Dear all,
The flight arrangement has been revised.

Revised Flight Arrangement

All the "high hands" behind me..please be patient..

Looking forward for this game.... especially the high stake bloodbath flight is just in front of me....

You are privileged... you can behave like the gallery except that you get to play too

Thanks slinger for the 'Jiu Yang Zhen Jing'!

I am last flight, so I get to 'clean up' all the bones, mess, etc???

Yea man.......and do Kranji a favour and wipe the trails of blood off the grass.
Thank you very much.
