Bill’s favorite hole: Number 3. This very long (445-yard) Par 4 features a narrow landing area. The second shot is invariably with a three wood to a shallow, elevated green, guarded on both sides by bunkers. Like Nos. 1 and 2 this hole normally plays into the wind!

Bill’s Favorite Hole: Number 7: Long 423-yard Par 4 to an uphill green which normally plays into the wind. Narrow second shot to a hilly green. Not only tough to hit the green in regulation and tough to get the ball up and down.
The City Parks Foundation has offically broken ground on a new $6 million junior golf center to be located on 11.8 acres adjacent to Dyker Beach Golf Center.
The new facility, which will include a six-hole golf course, nine-station driving range and 4,275 sq.-ft clubhouse/classroom, will be provided free to children ages 5 to 17.
The project will be built with both public and private funding. NYC and NY State are contributing approximately $2 million to the costs and the remainder will be funded through provide donations.
Mayor Bloomberg and several other officials attended the ground-breaking ceremony last week at the site. It is expected to open by September, 2007.
