The Blind Hole Problem

The lay of the land at Maleny Golf Clubs hole 3 makes it a blind tee shot with players over the hill, including those on the green, easily at risk. Most players found it safer to lay up to the left side of the fairway from which point the green is more visible, or walk up the hill to check on the progress before playing.

The Solution

The Blind Shot bollard at the tee, warns of players within the danger zone from a camera station to the right of the green covering both the green and immediate fairway. This removed the need to check over the hill, and gave players at the tee more confidence to play to the green.
