Long par 5. Gives me the most swings to break in the clubs and have a chance at shooting a variety of shots and distances to dial that in.

I would say a par 5 has the most room for error. An extra shot to be made up should things go south.
I assume we're waiting on Lex to finish editing out her whoopsie moment?

I'm fairly ambivalent between the par 4 and par 5, but I suppose I'd probably go with the par 5 if I had to choose. Par 3 is definitely last on the list.
All those words and not one reference to a "flip wedge".
We're only 3, or 6, holes in Nate. I just haven't had the right yardage yet.
dye 4. cut off the bunkers. 6 or 7i layup. partial wedge for a birdie chance. tell finley his putt for double is good.
dye 5. woof, this one looks tough. probably try to draw it off the center bunker. 5 or 6i into the green. maybe a chutt and a putt for a tough par. accept finley's concession after he leaves two in the fairway bunker.
clive 4. driver at the water, should stop short. partial wedge for a birdie look. compliment finley on his ability to save double after he shanks his second shot into the water.
clive 5. driver up the left. partial aw onto the green for an easy 2p. act like i don't know finley when he bounces his tee shot off the roof of some houses down the left.

This is bothering the heck out of me, this hole. So from front to back of that tee box, it's 20yds long. All numbers I'm about to give are from the back edge of it, so one could adjust accordingly depending on how many yards the tees are from that edge. This is classic Pete Dye being an a*shole so for those who don't play his style of courses a lot, here are two things you need to know: Pete Dye is a %*@$. But, they look worse than they typically are, there's always more room than you think and he likes to visually intimidate you.
248 to the cut of rough before the bunker. 252yds to the front of that first bunker, 270 to carry the lip of it. 274 over it. 286 to the beginning of the second bunker, 293 to carry it, 296 to fly all of it. From the first cut of rough at the bunker, if you literally just dropped it there or a step back and into the fairway, you're looking at 179 front edge. Just in case those competing either don't have the firepower to challenge the bunker, or you prefer to guarantee you're not in them.
From cartpath to beginning of the left edge of the first bunker rough is 40 yards at its fattest point. 27 yards from first cut on the left to the left bunker rough. 16 yards of room from the right bunker rough to the edge of the fairway. You have a lot more room to avoid those bunkers is my point. Don't be afraid to aim up the left and fade it, or aim at the left edge bunker complex itself and draw it if that's your consistent shot.
No one ask what yardages would be like from the adjacent fairway. You're better than that. You have 71 yards from the right edge of rough on that first bunker to the beginning of the next fairway. That would be unnecessary and just leave you a 170+yds into that green, so maybe not take that as a bailout.

250 off the tee, cart path to right edge of fairway is 52 yards. You've got some room to send it friend, even with a 3w if you had to. More room than you think, just swing freely and you'll be alright.
Will you be wearing a pair of Jordan golf shoes for said match? Seems like you have to.
You’re not wrong there. Plus the fitter is gonna dial me in so I should be set to grab the rough on the right fairway a few feet from the water

Who else is not working while hoping for the third Thursday in a row of an announcement of ZC team members?

There's a lot of water on the right throughout the course.... also on the left.... but definitely more so on the right.

I'm sure I'll be finding some then at the most in opportune time.

The best is right after your teammate pipes his drive down the middle of the fairway. The worst is right after your teammate pipes one right in the water.
