Pohick Bay Golf Course -

This scenic course, originally built in 1982, is located on the Mason Neck Peninsula in Lorton. Pohick Bay’s 18 holes run 6400 yards from the back tees, and feature bent grass from tee to green with a mix of poa annua. Add to that a 132 slope rating, rolling terrain throughout and several significant water hazards, and it quickly becomes clear that course management is the name of the game. The course’s signature holes are a great example. On hole 2, a par 3 that measures 168 yards from the back (157 from the whites), golfers are challenged to lift their shots high up and over a deep ravine that stretches from the tee box to just short of the green. On hole 18, players will find a par 5 that measures over 500 yards from the tips, in which a good tee shot puts you in position to navigate the slight dog leg left, down to the green.

Keep track of your game on Pohick Bay’s USGA Handicap System. Work on your driving or putting at our practice facility, which features a driving range with sand traps, practice putting and chipping greens, and lessons from PGA pros. The course also offers a fully-stocked pro shop for all your needs, as well as a full service snack bar.

History / Architect
George W. Cobb, ASGCA (July 2, 1914 - January 15, 1986) is a notable and prolific golf course designer who created more than 100 courses and renovated many others. He worked to create attractive layouts that the average golfer would find enjoyable, not frustrating.

George was born into a family of golfers in Savannah, Georgia, learned to play as a child and became a scratch golfer. He attended the University of Georgia, where he played on the college golf team. He studied landscape architecture and graduated in 1937. He was hired by the National Park Service and worked as a landscape architect until 1941.

During World War II, Cobb was a Marine Corps engineering officer at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Because he was an avid golfer and landscape architect, he was assigned the task of constructing a golf course for use in physical rehabilitation of injured GIs, but he had no experience in course design. Cobb was permitted to hire experienced course architect Fred Findlay to provide design assistance. Cobb handled the construction.

Cobb was design consultant at Augusta National Golf Club beginning in the mid-1950s and became good friends with Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, chairman of Augusta National.

The club decided to add a par-3, nine-hole course in 1958. Cobb was asked to design it with input from Roberts, and the 1,060 yard "little course" opened in 1959. The Par-3 Contest has been held on Wednesday of Masters Week since 1960. In fifty years of Masters play, no one has ever won the Par-3 and the main tournament in the same week. Cobb added a fresh touch to the "big course" in 1967 and 1977.

Putts

Rather than keeping score for other players, I would suggest that a better use of the app would be to record the number of putts vs just total strokes.
