Again
with smart play, here is a golf hole that we should all play well.
First of all, most of us get on the tee and look straight at the pin and
shoot for it. This hole will really penalize you for taking that approach.
If you are left at all, your second shot is going to be extremely difficult.
At this point most of you are saying, "well at least it is better than being
in the creek on the right." I agree with you if you are hitting your driver
off the tee; however, if you take a club that will just get you to the 150
marker, there is A LOT of room to the right before you get to the creek.
In summary, hit a three wood or long iron off the tee to the right center
of the fairway, and you will have a nice 150 yard shot left with no
trouble. The rest of the hole is simple from here unless the pin is back.
Aim your second shot to the left side of the green, because if you pull
or hook your ball, it will bounce right off the mounds back on to the
green. The only place you need to avoid is going long; it is a tough up
and down from behind the green. Again, wherever the pin is located, a
good shot is to the left center of the green. Great shot! As usual, pick
your target, and think about how far you are going to roll that putt.
Another solid par, still 2 over par and going to that intimidating par 3
eighth.
