  "account": "The TGL and WTGL indoor golf leagues have revealed a new 591-yard par 5 hole called the Belle Isle Hole. While not an actual location, the hole would offer players an experience of the Detroit skyline, with the skyline serving as a stunning backdrop as the ball flies over Belle Isle. This fictional hole is part of a larger collection of 37 unique courses that will be used in a rotating basis during the leagues' matches.\n\nThe Belle Isle Hole begins with its signature landmark as the aiming point from the back tee, with Canada visible in the distance. Bunkers are positioned in the center of the fairway, forcing players to choose their route. The wider left side of the fairway is considered the safer target, but it offers a long way to the green, making it difficult to reach in two shots. On the other hand, the narrow right side presents a smaller margin for error, but a well-placed drive can lead to an opportunity to attack the green in two shots.\n\nThe hole then turns back toward Detroit, bringing the downtown skyline into view, creating a dramatic approach to the course. The Motor City Golf Club, the first expansion franchise of the TGL, will play in its inaugural match against the Los Angeles Golf Club on November 10 at 8 p.m., which will be televised on ION. Meanwhile, the TGL's third season will commence on December 27, with the Motor City Golf Club facing off against Boston Common Golf at 1 p.m. in their first match, televised on ESPN.",
