Hole 14 at Chambers Bay Golf Course is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 521 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a slight dogleg left and features two bunkers strategically placed along the fairway. With a handicap of 6, this hole may prove to be difficult for some golfers.
To successfully navigate this hole, it is important to have both distance and accuracy off the tee. As an average golfer hitting around 217 yards with their driver, they should aim for the center of the fairway in order to avoid the bunkers on either side. This will leave them with a long approach shot into one of the largest greens on the course.
When approaching this green, it is important to note that there are no greenside bunkers present. However, there are some undulations and subtle slopes that can make putting challenging. It's also worth considering any potential changes in ball flight due to weather conditions such as wind or altitude.
Depending on local weather conditions during each season, golfers may need to adjust their club selection accordingly when approaching this hole. For example, during warmer months when temperatures are higher and air density is lower, golf balls tend to travel further than usual which could impact club selection for both tee shots and approaches.
Overall, Hole 14 at Chambers Bay Golf Course requires strategic planning and precise execution in order to score well. With proper club selection and accurate shots off the tee and onto the green, players can give themselves a chance at making par or better on this challenging par 4.
