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 relatively short; none are over 320 yards. If you’re a big hitter youall be tempted to take out the Ping or Callaway driver and go for the green. Of course this may be risk not worth taking
This works if you’re accurate but most golfers need to work on their accuracy. So why not take out a five iron, follow it with a wedge and knock in that ten footer for birdie. All the while youall be working your short game.
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.
Many golfers will be tempted to go for the pin on these short par three holes. However there are some unseen hazards lurking around each of the greens; hazards that could easily turn birdie into bogey. Learning how to avoid these hazards or at least recover from them is an important element in lowering a golf score.
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.
