I like this hole. Not a long hole but that's what makes this tee shot interesting for choice is when combined with its annoying pimple right smack in the middle of the fairway. How often the average person does not hit down the middle when we try, yet amusingly we often find a way to be when its not desired lol.
I know this depends on our distances as individuals but I am wondering in general how you would play this tee shot. What would be your logic to play this hole? The reason I ask is because of that bunker dead center and for a not so long hole I think its an interesting one.
The markers also have approach distances.
The tee played (6374) is from one set in and is how we'll play this here.
The bunker (pimple) is fwiw raised hill and heavy rough surrounding. I (in normal weather conditions) drop the driver and play my 5wood here. My logic is "what am I gaining by risking the bunker&rough?" which can be pain in the butt on this hole. I can be about 125 out by dropping in early vs being 80 to 100 out and risking the bunker/rough. Of course there is some room left and right but as said its amazing how dead center we can sometimes be when not intended lol.
Anyway I was curious what your managing logic would have you do here on this tee? Do you take the extra yardage for the reward of a shorter approach? Imo the approach is very makeable anyway so why risk anything but thats just my logic for me, Imo it is regardless a pretty easy par hole so long as of course whatever you do is then executed and not in any trouble lol.
BTW, the approach is blind and only from the 284 mark can you see down the hill and the top of the flag. And the green is fairly flat.
of fairway.
