The plan for No. 10
The 10th at Winged Foot Golf Club (East Course) is a 353.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy revolves around positioning for the optimal approach angle rather than maximizing distance. Most players should consider a controlled drive or even a 3-wood to ensure they stay in the fairway and avoid Winged Foot's punishing rough. Target the center-left portion of the fairway to open up the best angle to the small green. The straight layout might tempt players to swing aggressively, but course management suggests laying back to your most comfortable yardage for the approach shot. Remember, being 20-30 yards closer but in the rough is far worse than being slightly further back in the fairway.
Approach & recovery
The approach shot is where this hole shows its teeth. With the small green size, club selection becomes critical - you need to be pin-high or risk difficult up-and-downs. Study the pin position carefully before selecting your club, as the compact target leaves little margin for error. Favor the center of the green unless you're supremely confident in your distance control. The key is committing fully to your yardage and swing, as tentative shots often come up short on Winged Foot's demanding greens. Consider taking one extra club and making a smooth, controlled swing rather than forcing a shot.
On the green
Winged Foot's greens are renowned for their subtle breaks and firm conditions, and the 10th is no exception. The small putting surface means every putt matters, so take time to read the green carefully. Focus on speed control above all else - it's better to leave putts short and straight than to blow them past the hole on these quick surfaces. Pay attention to grain and slope, as even seemingly flat putts can have surprising movement. Position your approach shots below the hole when possible, as uphill putts are much more manageable than downhill sliders.
