Wouldn't you like to lower your handicap? Well if youare like most of us you probably donat know how to make that happen. However, the David L. Baker Golf Course, located in the heart of Orange County, can help you improve your game. The course is a par 62 medium length course that allows you to play on tight fairways with plenty of water and sand hazards. You'll increase your confidence while playing in these conditions and the short par threes will help increase the accuracy of your short game.
David Baker's par four holes are not that long, maxing out at approximately 320 yards. Big hitters will be tempted to take out the Ping or Callaway driver and go for the green. This may or may not be a wise decision.
This works for an accurate golfer but most folks working on their game find that a well placed five iron followed by a wedge is a less risky option. One critical aspect to lowering golf scores is accuracy and the ability to recover from a bad shot
The iron followed by wedge approach on the par fours fits with the "improve your golf score" mantra that is part of the David L. Baker Golf Course philosophy. This approach also extends to the par threes where golfers will be able to further practice their iron play.
You probably know we drive for show and put for dough. So a good short game will help you lower your handicap.. Baker's par threes will let you work on your iron game no matter what your skill level is. You'll be able to reach the par threes with a seven iron or less so you'll be able to focus on your short game: pitching, chipping and putting.
Donat let the length of the par threes fool you. As much as you will be licking your chops as you pull out your Ping and Callaway Golf drivers on the par fours, you will also be dying to get a chance at sticking it close on a short par three.
The good news is that this is another chance for you to practice the short game. Feeling comfortable staring down a water hazard or being confident that you can get out of a sand trap in one is an important part of playing golf. Staying dry and avoiding the beach is the best way to cut several strokes off of your golf score.
David L Baker has no shortage of these hazards, and one can really take advantage of this fact to improve their score and get some much-needed practice in. Watch your score drop as you take advantage of Bakeras natural features to get some practice in and have fun while you do it.
