The plan for No. 17

Play to the available putting surface rather than chasing a demanding right-side flag.

Off the tee

Choose sufficient club for the actual target and conditions. A tentative strike can leave an unnecessarily difficult recovery.

Approach & recovery

From a miss, use the widest section of green available from your lie. A flag on the right does not make that side a sensible recovery target.

On the green

Right-side hole locations can demand delicate pace. Judge the slope from the ball and leave room for the putt to slow.

Watch for

  • Right-side green contours
  • Greenside sand
  • Runoff edges
