Most golfers that spend hours practicing with their hundred dollar clubs have a dream of going pro. One tournament you have to finish in the top 10 is the Wisconsin amateur. This event was held at Merrill Hills Country Club in Waukesha. If you ever played at Merrill Hills you would agree that due to the narrow fairways, with extremely fast greens, it is one of the hardest courses in Wisconsin.
Every golfer thinks the course they play is hard until they play Merrill Hill Country Club. One problem you’ll notice if you miss the fairway is the trees. To make this shot worst, the rough hides the ball. If you are lucky enough to find your ball you will be stuck with a shot you have to keep under ten yards unless you want to attempt to go through the trees. At Merrill it doesn’t matter how far you hit it Wisconsin Golfer explained it at trying to hit a golf ball in a hallway.
If you get stuck with a downhill putt, you’ll be lucky to keep the ball on the green. Most of the greens have a back to front slant. With a back to front slant will make a downhill chip or putt that will not stop by the hole. The hardest chip to land on target is uphill chips. Even if you land it near the hole the ball won’t be going fast enough into the green to stay there. If there is too much backspin on the ball thanks to the back to front slant it could end up of the green.
None of the 300 Amateurs that golfed Merrill Hills shoot under par. To be invited to this tournament you would have to one of the best 300 golfers in Wisconsin one of these golfers shoot a 97 my dad can beat that. The winner of this tournament stared his round with a three putt triple bogey. When winner finished his fourth round he was four over par.
You would agree that due to the narrow fairway, with fast greens, Merrill Hill Country Club is one of the hardest courses you ever seen but if you don’t believe me you are in for the hardest round of your life.
