@DukeMGOLF's Dream Round: Chandler Eaton
5/21/2020 9:00:00 AM | Men's Golf
Over the next few weeks, GoDuke.com and @DukeMGOLF will run a series of features on the favorite holes for each member of the Duke men's golf team. The players and coaches were asked to pick the three favorite holes they've ever played and provide a scouting report on how best to attack them. Be sure to check @DukeMGOLF on Twitter on Instagram each Thursday to cast your vote on each of our players' dream holes!
---------------------------------------------
Senior Chandler Eaton is our final player to tee it up in the Dream Course series, as the two-time All-American has the nation covered with his three favorite golf holes. The native of Alpharetta, Ga., begins with the par-4 eighth at Pebble Beach. He then heads east for the par-3 15th at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla., before finishing up at the par-5 12th at his home course, the Golf Club of Georgia in Alpharetta.
Eaton's #1 Favorite Hole: 8th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links (Pebble Beach, Calif.) – 427 yards – Par 4
In Eaton's words:Â "This is an incredible par-4 on the property that has a blind tee shot onto a cliff which requires a 230-245 yard shot. Once on the fairway, you're hitting a 200-175 yard shot over the Pacific Ocean onto one of the smallest and most undulating greens on any golf course. There are no fences blocking you from the cliff side which is about a 100 foot drop -- it really gets the juices flowing on your approach shot."
Eaton's #2 Favorite Hole: 15th hole at Karsten Creek GC (Stillwater, Okla.) -- 217 yards -- Par 3
In Eaton's words: "This is a long par-3 that sits in the middle of a forest. You'll hit about a 5 or 4 iron through a shoot in the trees to a very fair, but difficult green to hit. It's one of the more difficult par-3's I've ever played, but if you hit a well-struck shot, you can have a good birdie look. If not, you're in the trees. This hole is so beautiful late in the afternoon on a hot Oklahoma day. The trees provide shade and the sun glimmers through the trees — it's unbelievable."
Eaton's #3 Favorite Hole: 12th Hole at GC of Georgia -- Creekside Course (Alpharetta, Ga.) -- 542 yards -- Par 5
In Eaton's words:Â "This is a reachable par-5 that is very straight with forest on the right and beautiful green swamp land on the left. If you hit a good drive, you can have less than 240 yards in with a great chance at eagle. This hole just reminds me of home. The swamp lands, creeks, and forest shape this hole perfectly. When I think of this hole I think of Georgia."
