Club Recommendations
1. Make sure to take into account the local weather conditions when deciding on which club to use and how hard to hit your shot.
2. Aim for the center of the fairway, as it is 28 yards wide and offers plenty of room for error.
3. Consider using a driver off the Championship tee box, as this will give you 217 yards in distance and put you in position for a 7 iron approach shot from 140 yards out.
4. When hitting your approach shot, be aware that there are three greenside bunkers surrounding the green area which measure 5711 sq ft., so aim accordingly away from these hazards if possible.
5. Use practice swings before each shot to get a feel for how far your ball will travel with each club given current weather conditions such as wind speed, temperature and altitude levels at that time of day or seasonally throughout the year on this hole specifically.
