The plan for No. 6
The 6th at Winged Foot Golf Club (East Course) is a 194.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Your tee shot is everything on this hole. Club selection is critical - most players will need anywhere from a 5-iron to a 7-iron depending on conditions and pin position. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot. Aim for the center of the green unless you're confident in your distance control with a specific pin position. The small green size means there's little room for error, so commit fully to your club choice and target line.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par-3, your tee shot serves as your approach. Focus on a controlled, balanced swing that prioritizes accuracy over power. With no major hazards to navigate, the primary concern is staying on the putting surface. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they can significantly affect club selection on a shot of this length. A miss short or long of this small green will leave you with a challenging up-and-down.
On the green
The small green demands respect with your putter. Pace control becomes crucial as you'll likely face longer putts than expected if you miss your target on the green. Study the subtle breaks carefully - what appears flat may have more movement than anticipated. Lag putting to the correct tier or section of the green is often more important than going for every pin, especially on a compact surface where three-putts can happen quickly.
