Hole 9
Yards: 388 Par: 4 Handicap: 11
This brings players to the most dramatic tee shot on the course. The richly contoured fairway is situated in a tree lined valley some 80 feet below the tees. The hole doglegs left and a bunker located on the inside challenges the golfer. If the player can clear the bunker, effectively the hole is shortened and provides the best angle to the green. A short iron is required to a green with a sloping front and two distinct levels. Bunkers short and right keep errant shots in play

Hi, my name is Matt Dillman, head golf professional here at Thousand Hills Golf Resort in Branson Missouri. I am standing on the 9th tee, 388 yard par 4, that is significantly down hill, and it is dog leg to the left. What I am going to do is just aim it right off the edge of the trees. I don’t want to hit it any further left than that, I can’t hit it far enough to get it over the trees. It is really deceptive so if you are going to try it really think about it. Lets see how this turns out. I hit that ball good right in the middle of the fairway, should have just a wedge in.

I’ve reached my second shot here on the 9th hole. I am sitting in perfect position 100 yards out. If you notice the little spots on the fairway, the maintenance crew has just aerified the fairways. It has no effect on your shot whatsoever. I’ve got a 100-yards with a middle pin. This is where I take dead aim to make that birdie. I pulled it just a little but I’m sure I still have a birdie putt. Let’s go see if we can make it.

I am on the 9th green and I am looking at my birdie put. I noticed I hit it a little long and I am over a ridge. Now I have to hit it over the ridge and back down, a very difficult put. I would have thought about that had I known this wind was out here, but how can I know. Hand on and lets see if we can make this birdie. Decent lag for par there.

This is the length of putt I have left myself for par on number 9. What I am going to do here is to pick one of these little blades of grass here to aim at, giving myself a bigger margin to miss. This break as you can see has a little turn in it so it could be a little testy. This is where your scores are made.
