Wilshire Country Club Hole by Hole - 14th Hole

Low Handicapper Strategy:

Accuracy off the tee is key for low handicappers on this hole. With a drive distance of 280+ yards, they have the ability to reach the green in two shots. However, with only four bunkers and a small green area, it's important to avoid trouble spots and aim for accuracy rather than distance. A well-placed drive will give them a good chance at scoring an eagle or birdie.

Mid Handicapper Strategy:

For mid handicappers who hit around 230+ yards off the tee, this hole presents a great opportunity for scoring well. While not quite as long as low handicappers, they still have enough distance to potentially reach the green in two shots. Aim for accuracy and try to avoid fairway bunkers that could hinder their approach shot.

High Handicapper Strategy:

High handicappers hitting around 200+ yards off the tee should focus on avoiding any trouble spots on this hole. With only four bunkers and a relatively small green area, it's important to prioritize accuracy over distance. They may need three shots to reach the green but by playing smart and avoiding mistakes, they can still score well here.

Local Weather Impact:

Due to its location in Los Angeles, Wilshire Country Club experiences mild weather throughout most of the year with little wind or temperature fluctuations that would significantly impact ball flight conditions.

Seasonal Tips:

Spring/Fall - As temperatures start cooling down or warming up during these seasons, players may notice slightly longer distances due to changes in air density.

Summer - The warm summer months may lead to firmer fairways which could result in longer roll-outs after drives.

Winter - Cold temperatures may cause balls not struck solidly enough to lose some carry distance so be sure to make solid contact off the tee.

Percent of Bunker on Green:

With only 2% bunker coverage on this hole's greenside areas, players should not have to worry too much about bunker shots. However, be aware of the fairway bunkers that could come into play off the tee and aim to avoid them for a better chance at scoring well. The small green size also means it's important to hit accurate approach shots to avoid any potential greenside bunkers.
