The plan for No. 4
The first par 3 crosses water to a green with bunkers beside it. Its main decision is the amount of reliable carry available from the tee you are actually playing. Choose a target on the putting surface that leaves room for a small distance error.
Off the tee
Check the front carry from the day’s marker rather than from the neutral map position. A club that reaches only with perfect contact is a poor match for the water crossing. Consider wind at green height and the landing space beyond the front edge.
Approach & recovery
The tee shot is the approach here. Keep the ball’s expected landing area inside the green instead of using the most exposed flag as the only target. If the first shot misses safely, reassess the remaining hazard from the new position before playing the recovery.
On the green
The mapped green is deeper than the narrow entry suggests. Work with that depth when selecting a target, while allowing for the side bunkers. Any putting read should come from the actual hole location and surface; the overview map supplies orientation, not a pin-specific read.
Watch for
- Water crosses the approach and continues along the left. Bunkers guard the sides of the green.
