Club Recommendations

Playing Tips for a Low Handicapper: As a low handicapper, you have the distance and accuracy to take an aggressive approach on this hole. With your driver in hand, aim towards the left side of the fairway to give yourself a better angle into the green. Be mindful of the water that runs along the entire left side and avoid it at all costs. Your second shot should be a short iron or wedge into a small green protected by nine bunkers. Keep your focus on hitting your approach shot onto the putting surface and giving yourself a good look at birdie.

Playing Tips for a Medium Handicapper: For those with medium handicaps, this hole can still be attacked but with more caution. Aiming towards the wider part of the fairway will give you some room for error off the tee, but make sure to steer clear of any trouble on either side. With around 230 yards off the tee, consider laying up short of any hazards instead of trying to reach this tricky green in one shot.

Playing Tips for a High Handicapper: The key for high handicappers on this hole is avoiding big numbers. With only 200 yards needed off the tee, take out your most reliable club and hit it straight down towards where you see fit in order to set up an easier second shot over water and bunkers guarding both sides of this challenging green.

Local Weather Conditions: Located near Jacksonville Beach, Florida's TPC Sawgrass is known for its warm temperatures year-round with occasional wind gusts coming from either direction depending on seasonality. In hotter weather conditions during summer months when humidity levels are high – expect ball flight distances to increase due to thinner air density while winter months may experience cooler temperatures resulting in shorter distances traveled through thicker air density which makes club selection crucial as golf balls don't travel as far like they do during warmer days.
