Shinnecock Hills Golf Club Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Hole 2 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is a par 3, measuring 221 yards from the championship tees. It has an 11669 square foot green with 6 bunkers surrounding it, making up 8% of the total area around the green. This hole can be tricky for golfers of all levels due to its length and well-protected green. Depending on the season, local weather conditions such as wind direction and speed may play a factor in club selection off the tee. For example, during spring months when temperatures are higher and winds tend to pick up more often than other seasons, playing one extra club may be necessary. The approach shot should also take local weather into account – if there is any wind present it could affect your ball flight significantly so make sure you adjust your strategy accordingly! When hitting your approach shot keep in mind that this hole has a handicap rating of 12 which means that even though it’s long relative to other holes on this course, it still provides players with an opportunity for birdie or better if they hit their shots accurately enough! A driver off the tee will likely leave you too far away from the pin but depending on how much distance you usually get out of each club (217 yards for driver; 140 yards for 7 iron; 120 yards for pitching wedge) selecting either a hybrid or fairway wood might give you just enough control over your ball flight while keeping your distance close enough to attack this hole successfully!
