Hole 2 -- Let Out Some Shaft
Somewhat longer than hole #1 and can eat
golf balls

The second hole is
more wide open than the first and needs a longer tee shot, but is still a
"Pussy Cat" for some. There is out of bounds left
(homes) and right (driving range) but lots of fairway in between. On this hole the
more serious trouble is on the right -- out of bounds for a short
slice and in a creek bed for a longer shot. Aim for the
water fountain left of center. The green is on a slight
dogleg right. |

As on hole #1, the red
tee is more open than the white. It also avoids the out of
bounds on the right but brings the pond at the water fountain on
the left into play for a long hit. A modest drive puts you
well over the crest of a gentle hill for an easy approach to the
green. The black tee is closer and brings the pond at the
fountain into play even for modest hitters. |

Approach shots
range from 170 yards to 70 yards, depending on player and
tee. It is an open shot from the left but the tall oak in this
picture blocks out any straight shot from the right longer than
about 130 yards. |

Typical at Lake
Wildwood, the green is raised and guarded by bunkers left and
right. The green slopes down from right to left and back to front,
so aim to the right of the pin and stay short of it. |
