The plan for No. 12
At just 149 yards, this short par 3 might seem straightforward, but the 12th hole at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course demands precision and smart club selection to avoid trouble. While it lacks the dramatic hazards of some holes, the small green and desert setting make accuracy paramount for scoring opportunities.
Off the tee
Club selection is critical on this short par 3. Most players will be hitting anything from a 9-iron to a 7-iron depending on pin position, wind conditions, and elevation changes. The key is committing to a club that gets you to the back edge of the green, as coming up short in the desert is far worse than being long. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing rather than trying to dial back a longer club. The small green demands precision, so pick your target in the center of the green and execute with confidence. Desert courses can play tricks with distance perception, so trust your yardage and club selection.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. The straight layout simplifies target selection - aim for the heart of the green regardless of pin position. With the green's small size, any shot that finds the putting surface gives you a reasonable birdie chance. Pay attention to wind conditions, which can be significant in the Arizona desert. A crosswind can easily push your ball off the small target, while headwinds or tailwinds will affect club selection. When in doubt, favor the center of the green over challenging tucked pins.
On the green
The small green means shorter putts on average, which should translate to better scoring opportunities. However, small greens often feature more severe slopes and undulations to create challenge. Read putts carefully and don't assume the shorter length makes them automatic. Focus on lag putting to the center of the cup rather than charging putts on this small surface. Three-putts from anywhere on this green would be disappointing, so prioritize getting your first putt close over being aggressive.
