The plan for No. 8
Use the main fairway to create an approach over the front bunker cluster. The tee shot is a positioning decision, not an automatic invitation to chase the green.
Off the tee
Aim into the center of the broad lower landing area. The right side runs toward trees and native ground, so avoid pushing the intended landing point against that boundary.
Approach & recovery
Several bunkers sit directly in front of the green. Select a landing target on the putting surface and account for the wind before committing.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- Front-of-green bunkers and the right-side native boundary define the main misses.
