The plan for No. 4
The 4th at Sea Pines Resort - Harbour Town is a 200.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The tee shot is everything on this hole - there's no recovery shot opportunity. Focus on selecting a club that gets you to the center of the green with a smooth, controlled swing rather than trying to muscle a shorter iron. Most players will need anywhere from a 5-iron to a hybrid depending on conditions and personal distance. Aim for the middle of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target demands conservative strategy. Take one extra club if there's any doubt, as being long is typically better than coming up short on a par 3.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. The key is maintaining good balance and rhythm throughout your swing. With a small green as your target, focus on a controlled takeaway and smooth acceleration through impact. Pay attention to wind conditions, as they can significantly affect club selection on a 200-yard shot. Commit fully to your club choice and swing with confidence - indecision leads to poor contact and missed greens.
On the green
The small green size means you'll likely have manageable putts if you find the putting surface. However, the compact nature also means slopes and breaks can be more pronounced relative to the green's dimensions. Take time to read the green carefully, as subtle breaks can be deceiving on a smaller surface. Focus on speed control, as running putts past the hole on a small green leaves difficult comeback attempts.
