Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
Off the tee, a low handicapper has the advantage of being able to hit their drive over the water and potentially reach the green in one. However, with three bunkers strategically placed along the fairway and near the green, it’s important for them to accurately assess wind conditions before selecting their club. A strong tailwind can easily carry their ball into one of these hazards, resulting in a difficult recovery shot. With an accurate drive, they will have a short iron into this relatively large green. Be sure to aim for the center of the putting surface as there is only 3% bunker coverage on this hole.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
For mid handicappers, distance may not be as much of an advantage off the tee but accuracy is key on Hole 10 at Thornblade Club. With a slight dogleg right and water on both sides of fairway, it’s crucial for them to keep their ball in play and avoid any potential hazards. The three bunkers should also be taken into consideration when choosing which side of the fairway to aim for. A well-placed drive will leave them with a mid-iron approach shot into this moderately sized green.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
With less distance off the tee compared to lower handicap players, high handicappers should focus on playing smart rather than trying to make eagle or birdie on this hole. It’s important for them to take note of wind conditions and choose a conservative club that will help them stay out of trouble off the tee. Aim towards either side of fairway away from water and bunkers; even if it means laying up short instead attempting a risky long-shot over hazards.
Weather Considerations:
Thornblade Club experiences mild weather throughout all four seasons but temperature fluctuations could impact how far your ball travels off each club face by up to 10%. In the summer, hot and humid conditions could add distance to your shots while in the winter, colder temperatures may cause your ball to travel shorter distances. Be sure to adjust accordingly when selecting clubs for your approach shot.
In Conclusion:
Regardless of handicap or teebox type, Hole 10 at Thornblade Club requires strategic thinking and careful club selection. With water on both sides of fairway and three bunkers strategically placed along the way, players must assess wind conditions and choose their shots wisely in order to reach this large green in regulation. Keep an eye out for any weather changes that could impact ball flight distances and always aim towards the center of the putting surface where there is minimal bunker coverage. Good luck!
