Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
For the low handicapper, this hole provides an opportunity for a birdie or even eagle if played strategically. With strong distance off the tee, aim for the center of the green to avoid both bunkers and potential water hazards. Keep in mind that wind can greatly affect ball flight at TPC Sawgrass, so adjust your club selection accordingly. The small percentage of bunker coverage on this hole means accuracy is key to ensuring a successful approach shot.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
The mid handicapper should also aim for the center of the green on this challenging par 3. With slightly less distance off the tee compared to a low handicapper, it may be wise to take one extra club due to potential wind conditions. Avoiding both bunkers is crucial as they can easily add strokes onto your scorecard. Although there is only a small percentage of bunker coverage on this hole, being accurate with your approach shot will greatly improve your chances at par.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
For high handicappers, avoiding mistakes and minimizing risk is key on this difficult par 3. With shorter distances off the tee, it's important to choose a club that you feel comfortable with and confident in hitting accurately towards the center of the green. Take into account any weather conditions that may affect ball flight and consider playing safe by aiming away from water hazards and bunkers.
Weather Conditions:
TPC Sawgrass is known for its unpredictable weather conditions throughout all four seasons – from hot summers with high humidity to cooler winters with occasional gusts of wind coming in from nearby oceanfront holes. In addition, altitude changes within different sections of TPC Sawgrass could impact ball flight as well.
Incorporating these factors into your strategy will give you an advantage over other players who may not have taken them into consideration.
