Hold a Dock

Burlington · Battery Street · Champlain dock

If the hip never opens, the slot is a rumor.

Fw Slot is a dock, not a wood boutique. We measure whether the hip actually clears on Lake Champlain fog and ice. A blocked pelvis can costume as a 5-wood that ‘will not launch.’ An honest window can make a humble wood look expensive. Neither story starts until the gate has spoken.

Hold a Dock How hips clear

Blocked gate

Looks like a low wood. Often a belt that never turned. Catalog talk here is a stall.

Early spin

Looks like a steep wood. Often a hip that cleared too far too soon on mud season.

Honest window

The rare plank tick. Slot talk is allowed after this photo, not before.

We will not let a wood referee a gate

People walk down from Church Street with a fairway wood they were promised would ‘hold a slot.’ The first plank photo shows a belt still closed. The wood is still in the catalog. The shot is already blocked. We write that on the ticket.

Fog is a co-author

Champlain moisture makes people cautious, and caution closes hips. A dry indoor window of a fog player is a postcard unless Calum writes the margin.

Wren showed me a plank photo where my belt never opened on a 5-wood I had been calling a slot problem. The wood was innocent. The hip was the pier.

Calum left the fog line blank until I admitted I play when the lake is milk. The dry indoor window had been a postcard.
