Hole 6

572-yard Par 5

This is Colonie's #1 handicap hole.  This is generally not a birdie hole for me and if there's ever a time I try to play conservatively, it's here.  A 3-wood hit with a slight draw off the tee will set you up optimally for your second shot.  Right is OB if you carry it over there, and left is in another set of pines.  Your second shot should be a lay-up just over the sand trap in the middle of the fairway (OK - I generally swing away with my 3-wood to get it to about 90-yards).  The green here is relatively flat, sloping slightly from back-to-front.
