PRO’S TIP
With out of bounds all along the right side of the fairway, smart players will play their tee shots down the left side of the fairway, even using the steep slope on the left to ensure they keep their ball in play. The hole is only short so some players will look at a 3-wood as an option, but for those longer hitters looking to make birdie, a driver can take you within a short pitch of the green. If the flag is in the front or middle section of the green, a birdie is definitely on the cards. However, if the flag is up the back on the upper tier, the approach shot must be played with caution because any shot over the back of the green is dead.
