Sacramento region's toughest 18 holes series: At 172 yards, No. 7 hole a ...
Six hardy Bee readers volunteered to play the 18 toughest holes in the Sacramento region and have their scores and experiences documented. The holes and recaps are being revealed one per week.
The particulars
• Par: 3
• Yardage: 172 for men; 115 for women
What makes the hole hard
Out-of-bounds stakes along the river's edge to the left and overhanging cottonwoods to the right give players a chute effect and a 30-foot-wide landing area – the left 20 feet of the 60-foot-wide green and the 10 feet between the green's left edge and OB.
A 100-foot-tall cottonwood about 10 yards to the front-right of the green makes going over impossible, at least if you're trying to end up anywhere near the green. The hole is as visually intimidating as it is unforgiving.
Our sixsome's summary
In one of the greatest displays of score- being-kept golf, our group played the hole in a cumulative 2 over par – to a far-right pin location that not only couldn't be seen or gotten to from the tee, but was on the deceptively sloped portion of the green.
A lot of money could be made betting that any six players of your choosing couldn't equal or better that.
Our sixsome's (mixed) assessment
• Matt Corsaut: "I think it's a great hole. It's a fun hole. It's the only dogleg-right par 3 I've ever played."
• Allan Owen: "Having a par 3 that you have to 'dog' is tough but not good. Not my favorite."
• Kathi McCoy: "Even though it looks short, seeing and hearing the river rushing by, the overhanging limbs … pick your poison."
Some strategy
From the back tee, the ideal tee shot would be started at the left edge of the green and faded (for a right-hander) 10 feet. A 20-foot fade and it's ricochet city with OB a possibility. A 1-degree pull and you're hitting your third shot from the tee. Your fifth and seventh shots, too, if you're not careful.
A punch shot under the tree limbs might be a marginally safer option, but no route to the green is without peril. As such, no lead at Campus Commons is safe until No. 7 has been negotiated.
Some history
The tee used to be about 20 yards farther left until erosion washed it away in the mid-1970s. The hole played a little longer then, but the angle was much easier, said Ray Arinno, one of the area's best players for decades, a former owner of Campus Commons and the course record-holder.
Used Squeeze Chutes - News
“But you think, 'OK he's going to take some time to get his stroke back,' and he came out of the chute so well. And then the last couple of games it's been a little bit tough for him. You can see he's real early with his stride, he's late on his swing,
Instead, 80 tons of granite chippings was delivered through pipes taped together to make a chute. The house sits at the top of the garden with the deck looking out onto a bank of crocosmias and red horned poppies, watsonias and soft Stipa tenuissima.
From the moment Celtic Princess took the early lead from Dubawi Heights, right where the infield chute joins the main track in front of the tote board, Rafael Bejarano and Joel Rosario were in command of the quarter-million-dollar race.
I thought maybe it would've been more important to squeeze something through like that, but I felt like once I got off the back straightaway if I led to there, I could cover the lines and be alright, but you never know. Blake, he's a good passer and he

Cattle Handling - Vital Tips and Why Learning the Skills Matters ...
Everyday, people from all over the world eat meat; not giving a thought to the effort (in research and in physical work) it took for that piece of Angus steak to get in the market. Many people take it for granted that acquiring good beef is as easy as taking a drive to the nearest meat shop. If you plan to start a cattle farming business and be part of a billion-dollar industry, there are a lot of things you have to learn, such as cattle handling.
There is more to cattle handling that just being able to rope a cow moving at 20 miles per hour. What you need to do is learn the ropes. That is just the first aspect though, the second aspect in cattle handling is getting the right equipment.
Learning the Ropes
You need to know about the animals that you are going to take care of. Most cattle farmers also take care of horses, and some raise poultry. You need to know about those animals because you need to anticipate their actions, and the situations that they would most likely be in, and you need to know how you can react to it. For example, you need to know how to move them from one place to another without getting them all wired up. You also need to know about diseases - whether those illnesses are fatal, contagious or common in your area.
One surefire way to do this is by working on a cattle farm. Nothing beats first-hand knowledge. If you are hell-bent on starting your own as soon as you can, then what you can do is talk to veterinarians, other ranchers, your neighbors, and the locals (especially if you have just moved in). Another way to learn about cattle handling is by checking on online resources. There are community forums for cattle farmers. Join one, ask around and start learning.
Equipment
Now, aside from learning the fundamentals of raising cattle, you need to get the right cattle handling equipment. The items under this list are calf tables, squeeze chutes, cattle headgates, cattle scales and other accessories. Note that these are needed in keeping the animals still for veterinary check-ups and weighing, as well as in moving the cattle.
Calf tables are commonly used in veterinary check-ups, castration, and branding. Some calf tables have an adjustable floor width and a leg hobble for castration.
Cattle headgates are used in catching cattle, sick or otherwise. Some cattle headgates are automatic. They have a self-catching mechanism that allows you to catch cattle without a partner - just run the cow up the alley, and you're good to go. Squeeze chutes are 'containers' for cattle. These are used in transporting cattle and for injections since they restrict movement. Some squeeze chutes come with levers for adjusting floor height, removable bottom panels for access and a hook to connect to a truck or a vehicle cab.
