Club Recommendations
1. Aim to hit your driver ~217 yards off the tee in order to stay within range of the green for your approach shot.
2. If wind and altitude changes are present, consider hitting an iron off the tee instead of a driver in order to keep control over your ball's trajectory and distance covered.
3. Be aware that there are 7 bunkers on this hole, with greenside bunkers making up 5% of them total - avoid these at all costs!
4. Take into account temperature fluctuations when selecting clubs - warmer temperatures will cause golf balls to travel farther than usual so adjust accordingly if needed.
5. After driving, you should be left with around 120 yard pitch wedge onto the green which can be difficult due to its sloping nature - ensure accuracy by taking extra time during set-up and swing execution while also allowing for more back spin on contact with the ball for better control and stopping power once it lands on the green.
