Club Recommendations

For the low handicapper, this hole offers an opportunity to make a birdie or even an elusive ace. With a drive of 280+ yards, they should have no trouble reaching the green from any of the tee boxes. However, precision is key as there is water surrounding the small green and one bunker that comes into play for all tee distances. The high handicapper may struggle with this hole due to their shorter driving distance and potential difficulty in controlling their shots.

Weather conditions at Thornblade Club can greatly impact your strategy on this hole. In warmer temperatures, the ball may fly further due to decreased air density at higher altitudes. Conversely, colder temperatures can cause a decrease in ball flight distance. Wind also plays a significant role here - headwinds will require more club selection while tailwinds may help carry your shot over hazards.

With only one bunker on this hole and it being located off to the side of the green, both medium and low handicappers should not worry too much about finding themselves in fairway bunkers or greenside bunkers during their approach shots. For high handicappers who may struggle with accuracy off the tee or with longer irons/hybrids, playing safe towards the center of the fairway away from water and bunkers would be wise.

In summary, for all handicap levels on Hole 9 at Thornblade Club in Greer SC: choose clubs carefully based on weather conditions; aim for precision over power; avoid hazards such as water and bunkers; stay focused on scoring well rather than trying to make eagles; enjoy taking advantage of opportunities for birdies!
