The plan for No. 12

Left-center is the useful side of this right-turning hole.

Off the tee

Aim for a finish that keeps the corner visible and the next shot clear. Cutting toward the sandy inside saves little if it removes the approach.

Approach & recovery

From left-center, use the opened angle to choose a broad landing area. Reassess the line if the drive finishes near the sandy margin.

On the green

Work from the ball's final lie rather than the planned angle. Keep the target comfortably inside the green when the approach view is restricted.

Watch for

  • Right-turning fairway
  • Sandy inside margin
  • Native ground outside the fairway
