I've also wondered about my posted rounds from the past, with the typical silence on the forums, I was surprised to see so many downloads with no comments. Makes me wonder if there had been bot phantom downloads going on in the background.
Brad, really wouldn't understand the purpose of that. At least it makes our site look quite popular..................

ImageHole #5 @ Hollow Trails is a right dogleg par 4 approximately 480 yards from the tee. The landing area is protected on either side with bunkers and the green has a bunker on the left side that it feeds if your too close to the edge. This can be a tricky little par 4.

That's a really nice-looking hole Steve. Simple but effective! :up:

You are inspiring me to get back into one of my many unfinished courses.

Cheers and beers :up: :cheers:

Merry Christmas mate!

ImageHole #6 at Hollow Trails is a par 5 approximately 525 yards from the tee. You must avoid the deep bunker guarding the left side of the landing area which leaves you with a very reachable green. The risk/reward factor , while low does exist but this is a great eagle oppurtunity and if you walk away with anything less than a birdie you'll feel cheated.

Thats a neat farmhouse tucked away behind the green. It feels very natural there.

Thanks Brad! The layout theme is a course running through country farmland so there are small farms and granaries everywhere. It also helps break up the grass layout somewhat which helps my sanity!!

ImageHole #7 @ Hollow Trails is approximately 460 yards from tee to green. Two fairway bunkers strategically placed along with the roller coaster fairway make this par 4 a challenge. If you find the fairway a mid to long iron approach must avoid yet another fairway bunker guarding the left front of the green. There is also a large bunker on the right side of the slightly elevated green that can be somewhat tricky with the putter. This is a good par!
