Club Recommendations

Seasonal Strategy:

The ninth hole at Glen Club, The is a challenging par 3 that requires careful shot selection and execution. During the spring and summer months, when temperatures are warmer and wind speeds are lower, players can expect their ball to fly farther than usual due to decreased air density. This means that for low handicappers who have longer drives of 280+ yards, they may need to club down in order to avoid overshooting the green. On the other hand, high handicappers with shorter drives of around 200 yards should aim for a slightly more aggressive approach since their shots will not travel as far.

Playing Tips:

For low handicappers: With its distance of 191 yards from the men's teebox, this hole may require you to hit your longest iron or even a hybrid off the tee. Keep in mind that there is only one bunker on this hole which is located on the right side of the green – so be sure to take aim towards the left side for added safety.

For high handicappers: At just under 200 yards from your tee box, this par 3 offers an opportunity for you to make up some ground if you've had a tough start on previous holes. Don't shy away from using your driver or fairway wood off the tee if it gives you better accuracy over long irons.

Risk Mitigation:

With no water hazards on this hole and only one small bunker guarding part of the green area (which has been measured at just above 3%), risk mitigation isn't much of an issue here. However, keep in mind that missing short or long could leave you with difficult chip shots onto a relatively narrow putting surface.

Scoring Potential:

Overall scoring potential on this hole depends heavily on weather conditions throughout each season as well as individual skill level. For example during colder winter months where air density increases due to lower temperatures golfers should plan accordingly by either clubbing up or making slight adjustments to their swings. With its smaller green area of 14893 sq ft, players will need to ensure they're precise with their approach shots in order to give themselves a good chance at birdie or par.
