We're on the 12th hole, which is a 716 yard brute of a par 5, and its playing into the wind. I have a picture of one of our guys hitting his second shot from behind the
white tee box, which has a 220-230 yard advantage on the tips. I never let this guy live this moment down. In full disclosure, not a single one of our group had a drive get past the forward tee, which was only 275 yards in front of the back tees! Fortunately no invoked the dick-out rule.
