Hole 10 at Pebble Beach, a par 4 ranging from 301 to 430 yards, features a slight dogleg right and a fairway 45 yards wide with six scattered bunkers. The challenge is to reach the green, which spans 6786 square feet with 2% greenside bunkers, in two shots while navigating the hazards. Weather conditions, particularly temperature variations affecting ball travel due to altitude and air density, are key factors in club selection and approach strategy.

Club Recommendations
High Handicapper: High handicappers should use a driver off the tee, aiming down the left side to accommodate the dogleg right. This strategy helps in avoiding fairway bunkers and sets up a more manageable approach. The second shot, likely with a mid to high iron, should be carefully planned, considering the large green size and the impact of temperature on ball distance. Practice swings are recommended to adjust for yardage and club selection.
Medium Handicapper: Medium handicappers can also benefit from driving down the left side of the fairway. A well-placed drive will leave an approach shot with a mid-iron. It's crucial to account for the temperature's effect on ball travel, adjusting club selection for the approach to the expansive green. Focusing on distance control and accuracy is key, especially with the greenside bunkers in play.
Low Handicapper: Low handicappers should utilize their driving ability to gain distance while avoiding the bunkers. A precise drive sets up a shorter approach, potentially with a short iron or a wedge, into the large green. Adapting to the varying air conditions and temperature, and making the necessary adjustments in club selection for the approach, are vital for an effective shot to the green.
"The most important shot in golf is the next one."
