The plan for No. 8
The double-dogleg eighth must be played in sequence; the exposed creek on the right turns a rushed second shot into the mistake.
Off the tee
Start left-center and use the widest landing area without leaking right toward the creek.
Approach & recovery
Go forward aggressively only from a clean drive; otherwise lay up before the creek squeeze to a full third-shot number.
On the green
Left hole locations are protected by two deep bunkers on a wide, shallow green.
Watch for
- creek hugs the right side and influences the layup
- two deep bunkers guard left hole locations
