Club Recommendations
For low handicappers, the Championship and Pro tee boxes offer a challenging but rewarding opportunity for birdie or even a hole-in-one. With distances of 207 and 182 yards respectively, these players should aim to hit their shots with precision and confidence in order to avoid the water hazard that runs along the right side of the green. The Men's tee box presents a slightly shorter distance at 164 yards, making it more manageable for mid-handicappers who may struggle with longer irons. However, they too must be wary of the water on this hole. High handicappers will find some relief from the Senior's tee box at 151 yards, allowing them to focus on accuracy rather than distance.
When considering weather conditions, players should take note of any potential changes in altitude due to elevation changes on this course. Additionally, wind speed can greatly impact ball flight and potentially push shots towards or away from the water hazard. It is important for all players to factor these variables into their shot selection.
As mentioned earlier, there is only one bunker located on this green which means players should prioritize avoiding it in order to optimize scoring potential. Green side bunkers can often lead to difficult recovery shots and add strokes onto a player's scorecard.
Overall, regardless of handicap level or teebox selection, precise club selection and shot placement are crucial for success on this challenging par 3 at Thornblade Club.
