Club Recommendations

Playing Tips for Low Handicappers:

As a low handicapper, you have the ability to hit longer and more accurate shots off the tee. For this hole, it's important to take advantage of your distance by aiming towards the center of the fairway. This will not only help avoid any potential hazards or bunkers but also set up a better angle for your second shot towards the left side of the green.

In addition, be mindful of windy conditions which can impact ball flight on this open course. It may be beneficial to adjust your club selection accordingly and aim slightly left in case there is any drift from right-to-left winds.

Playing Tips for Mid Handicappers:

For mid handicappers, it's important to focus on accuracy rather than solely relying on distance. Aiming towards the center of the fairway off the tee will give you a good chance at avoiding any trouble areas such as water or bunkers.

When approaching your second shot, consider playing safe towards the right side of green rather than trying to go for an aggressive approach towards potentially risky areas on the left side. This strategy can help mitigate risk and improve scoring opportunities.

Playing Tips for High Handicappers:

High handicappers should prioritize staying out of trouble and minimizing mistakes on this challenging hole. Aim towards the wider part of fairway off-the-tee with a shorter club that you feel comfortable hitting accurately.

If possible, try to keep your approach shot short and play safe away from any potential hazards or bunkers near both sides of green. Remember that making par is always better than risking big numbers when trying to make eagles or birdies.
