Hole 4 at Memorial Park Golf Course is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 445 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 9, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

The tee shot on this hole requires accuracy and distance to set up for a good approach shot. With an average drive of about 217 yards, our golfer should aim for the left side of the fairway to avoid being blocked by trees on the right. A slight dogleg left adds another layer of strategy to this hole.

As our golfer approaches their second shot, they will be faced with an uphill approach to a green that measures at approximately 7984 square feet. The green is well-guarded by three bunkers, but only makes up for about 1% of its total area.

When considering weather conditions throughout the year in Houston, Texas (77007), it's important to note that altitude and temperature may not have much impact on ball flight due to its relatively low elevation and mild climate. However, wind can play a factor as gusts off nearby waterways can affect shots.

Based on these factors and using club averages provided above (driver ~217 yards; iron ~140 yards; pitching wedge ~120 yards), we recommend using driver off the tee followed by either an iron or pitching wedge depending on your preferred yardage into greenside bunkers as you look for birdie opportunities while avoiding bogey potential here with smart shots along each step within this strategic golfing layout.
