Standard Country Club, The Hole by Hole - 6th Hole

Hole 6 at Standard Country Club, The is a challenging par 4 that measures 384 yards from the championship tees. With a handicap of 13, this hole ranks as one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot requires accuracy and strategy as it plays as a hard dogleg right with water not coming into play.

For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, I recommend aiming for the left side of the fairway to avoid getting blocked out by trees on the right side. This will leave you with a shorter approach shot into the green.

Speaking of approach shots, this is where things get tricky on Hole 6. With only two bunkers guarding the green and greenside bunkers making up just 1% of total bunker coverage, there isn't much trouble to be found around the putting surface. However, don't let your guard down just yet - this small green measuring at only 6141 sq ft can be deceiving and requires precision in order to hit it in regulation.

Depending on weather conditions throughout each season in Louisville (Kentucky), altitude may impact ball flight slightly but wind could also come into play here due to lack of tree cover protecting against gusts. For an average golfer hitting their pitching wedge ~120 yards, I recommend taking an extra club or two depending on wind direction and strength.

Overall, Hole #6 at Standard Country Club should be approached with caution and careful planning in order to score well. A solid tee shot followed by precise iron play will set you up for success on this tough par-4 hole.
