FROM THE FRINGE : HOLE OF WEEK.CAMARILLO SPRINGS GC Camarillo Hole - 5 Par - 3 Length - 193 yards One of the best par-3 holes in the area, this one forces you to sail your tee shot at least 175 yards if you want to keep it out of a green-fronting lake that extends to the front of the putting surface. The forgiving part of the hole is a large and receptive green, but most golfers will find this test tough enough to question how No. 5 can be ranked only the 15th most difficult on the course. ``Once you get to the green, you're fine,'' says Geoff Marshall, who coaches the girls' golf team at nearby La Reina La Reina (Spanish: "The queen") is a commune of Chile located in Santiago Province, Santiago Metropolitan Region. It consistently ranks in the top five communes with the best quality of life in the Metropolitan Region. High. ``But you've got to get it there. Long is better than short. You can't get in trouble going long.'' - Brian Dalziel COURSE OF THE WEEK Sherwood Country Club Location: Lake Sherwood There are four places in the United States called '''Lake Sherwood:

Background and careerAmateur career Duval was born in Jacksonville, Florida. . On a course featuring waterfalls, 600-year-old trees and spectacular vistas, Woods prevailed in part due to a another distinctive landmark on the par-4, 449-yard seventh hole (which played No. 16 Monday as nines were reversed to accommodate lighting for the final two holes). Duval, who had won two of the previous three holes to pull within one, hit a near-300-yard drive down the middle of the fairway on 16 only to have his drive wedge in bushes surrounding a giant boulder, costing him an unplayable lie and a chance to even a match that Woods closed out on the next hole. ``One of the worst breaks I've ever seen,'' said Woods, who watched Duval's fate, laid up short of the rock with a 2-iron and won the hole with a conceded par. - Dave Shelburne PRODUCT REVIEW What: Putter Prop Price: $3.99 Where to find it: Any major sporting-goods store. The skinny: This inch-long plastic gadget seems silly to buy. But have you ever tried putting with a wet handle? This inexpensive Putter Prop is a good way to keep your putter off the wet grass. It can be used on any club, and it will not affect your swing or distract you while putting. It easily snaps on the club right below the grip, then locks open and snaps closed so you won't know it's there. We've all done this at one point during a round of golf: leave the cart to our partners and carry a pinching wedge and putter to the ball. If the grass is wet, you don't want to set your putter on the ground. If you have the Putter Prop, all you have to do is unlock it, set it down, and you'll avoid having a wet grip.
