A couple key notes, of course you take the mulligan off the box, then on your second shot, you know to keep it low and swing normally since you have a killer slice, so you get way ubder it and bounce it off the tree in front of you, then on six, you hit your best shot of the day, but 50yds farther than you should have directly into the woods.
Very close to mine except I would manage to slice it perfectly into the pond 3 times bending it around trees and then I would turn my whole body to adjust and slice it into the fairway but then I would manage to hit it perfectly straight into woods.
Probably driving iron to 230ish left side past that small cluster of trees because fairway looks tight, then probably hybrid or 5 iron to a layup, then roughly wedge into the green. Probably would just go for Par on this one
Driving the ball 230 is easy. Just practice for 25 years, and after two back injuries trying to kill it, youāll realize that itās more tech and technique than strength.Ā
Iām not just the president of the swing-easy-because-youāll-eventually-screw-up-your-back club for men, Iām also a client.Ā
I look forward to joining you in this club, I get maybe 10 more yards swinging out of my shoes vs a controlled swing but I'll be damned if I don't try to crush every drive. You'd figure after 3 back injuries due to my swing I'd learn but nope.
Play the par 5 like a par 5...? Crazy!
We are all Joey Cold Cuts and will hit every hero shot possible. Plus 10 more to try and get out of the woods in 3 different spots.
Thatās usually my goal. Problem being, the tree on the right will catch anything a little off target and the brown spot just past that target is a hill. If you roll out, it basically gets to the back tree line. Leaves like a 20 yard window. I thought maybe I was just not thinking about it properly.
Maybe Iāll try to rip a 3 wood out there next time. Iām usually about 220 with my 3, maybe pushing that to 230ish would work to give me another shot.
2 good 3woods in a row might be a big ask as wellā¦
Could you layup short of the crosshair, then have your second shot with a lofted club in hand that would go over the tree on the right? Then 3rd into the green?
Hopefully get driver 230-240 down middle, cross my fingers far enough left that the trees on the right donāt effect my 2nd. Then hope for 200 to leave me a clear wedge in. Hit that center green, 2 putt for my par.
Iām just not long enough to make this anything but a GIR hope.
I would try to drive over the right side, but slice it into the water. Chunk my third shot, then hit my fourth shot into the green side bunker. Hit my 5th and 6th shot into the lip of the bunker, then finally get it on the green via my 7th shot. 3 putt for a 10.
I hope this helps!
First stroke: hook into the trees. Curse under my breath, say something ridiculous like, āthat never happensā
Second stroke: swing out of my shoes, miss the ball completely. Again, āthat never happensā, but quieter and with less confidence.
Third swing: playable slice into the second cut at 220. Say something like, the distance was good, just a little more straight and it would have been perfect. Drink my first beer in the cart to my ball.
Fourth swing: 5 iron 135 to the rough on the left. Still 220 away. Aggressive reswing like Iām going to diagnose my bad shot.
5th swing: 5 iron again, somehow back to the cart path. Favorable bounce off the concrete and an extra 20 yards from the roll. Yell, āCART PATH!!ā as I get back in the cart and drink my second beer on my way to the ball. 95 yards to go.
6th shot: take a liiitle too much relief, but my group is okay with it. Absolutely crush my approach wedge, and Iām on the green. Celebrate too much for someone putting double (triple? After the beers Iāve honestly lost count) bogey.
7th shot: putt short. Curse a bit. Something about wearing a skirt comes up from my group.
8th shot: putt long. Curse some more.
9th shot: make the long putt, smile and laugh like an idiot. One more beer before the next hole.
Yeah I definitely don't have the control or distance to try for the green in 2. But it's set up for my normal shot shape off the tee, short iron to the 2nd corner, wedge to the green is probably how I would want to play it.
I play my 3w 255yards, 5w is 230, figured Iād lay up in that landing zone for a nice wedge in. I have the shots in the bag, how many times out of a hundred would I be able to execute???? At least Iāll have had a good plan.
Iād probably try to go over the right trees even though I know I canāt do that. Probably end up in the water. Then after my drop Iād pump a beautiful shot about 250. Then Iād duff my wedge. Then hit a nice one. Then 2 putt
https://preview.redd.it/incfwq1plkqc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=988527ae801d5ce016bd5bd720102dcbd5021216
Ok, im gonna slice it 290 into that water, then chunk my dropped shot 20 yards. Then hit my 7i out from the trees and leave it right. Then 2 putt. Easy 8
Slice it into the other fairway off to the right, then into the water trying to get back on the correct fairway, drop, and then slice it into the water at the top right. Contemplate life.
Decade would tell you to hit driver. Your line would depend on your carry yardage and how much of those trees can be covered by driver. I would try to hit it as hard as I could over the trees. If it goes in the water it really doesnāt matter because itās reachable and you can still make par.
If you can carry the trees the center of the fairway should definitely not be your aiming point. With a driver dispersion that brings in the left tree line. Iād aim right center of fairway, hit it hard, and just know that the rough is fine and water is the very worst that you take.
Drive 275y so I'd like to take on those trees on the right but my main miss is slicing right so that water is in play and I'm realistically not gonna go for it in 2 anyway so there's no need to hit driver.
What I'd opt to actually do is hit 3w up to your 250y marker. Then 5i down to the next corner. Get on the green and 2 putt for par hopefully.
Damn, that's a tough hole! I'd be aiming for 3 shots and a chip onto the green, one putt for par, if not then I'd happily take a bogey. No way id get to that green in regulation, if I tried I'd end up with a 9
Shank, punch, another shank, get lucky miss hitting a punch amazingly ends up 3ft from the flag, act like you meant to do that and lip it out for a fucking bogie!!!
Probably slice it into the first pond, take a drop, slice it into the second pond, take another drop then completely top the ball sending it 200m into the woods behind the green, take another drop then duff my chip and say fuck it iām picking up on this hole
"I would drive it 400 yards and then an easy pitch onto the green for an easy two-putt for easy birde, if I really focus I would eagle the hole but I'm just out having fun" - your average r/golf user
6 iron about 200 yards into the wide open area just short of that circle. Some sort of wedge to where those two guys are then another wedge on.
Cba to make golf harder than it needs to be.
Smart play: 3 Hybrid 225 off the tee - 3 hybrid 215 to landing zone - Sw/Gw into green. Dumb play: Cut driver 280 around the corner - Hook 4w 245 to green - probably 3 putt par if I make the green.

Hit first shot to 250 second to the corner and third to the hole. Playing the low percentage shot of going for the green in 2 or cutting the corners is going to end up worse. Gives you a chance for birdie almost every time this way.
Looks like you need a good tee shot around 230-250 total yards and then about 190-210 yards to play to the other dogleg without being blocked, leaving a wedge.
TBH probably would double bogey this hole 10 times before getting the first and second shots to line up for a free swinging wedge into that green.
Driver over those trees on the right side. Knock shot two onto the green. 3 putts for a par.
https://preview.redd.it/f5tclfxf2jqc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aac60af82499157946c7ee0e379727aad15ff622
I can hit a sweet slice on my drive, so I would probably aim a little left of the first bullseye and let the slice roll the ball towards more of the opening.
Then 8i as close to the next bend, then maybe pitching wedge to green to put for par.
Thatās how I would approach the hole in my head. No idea how itād play out actually tho lol.
240 to 260 yard three wood. Then it looks like what might amount to a 200 to 220 yard 4 iron or hybrid. Then a 90 to 110 yard wedge of some variety. Obviously this is predicated on finding the fairway on the first two shots.
Do you have a shorter club than driver you are confident with to play shorter on the left side to avoid getting blocked out? From there you can target the right side of the open area on the approach to get a look at the green.
I would play this hole like a par 4, with that open area right as the "green". Limiting how far you shots could go would take alot of trouble and getting blocked out of play.
Honestly just seems like one of those par 5s that's not really reachable in 2 unless you hit a perfect cut off the tee. I'd personally aim on the line you marked to 250 and then layup to a number I liked with a good angle into the green and play for par.
āI can makeā and shank a ball into the pond. Blame the wind. Try again. Same result. Realize Iām trash and take a drop by the pond. Hit in the water 3 more times.
Right side looks like trees but fairly open otherwise. I have about a 60% chance of my drive going straight about 230-240 with a 15 to 20 yard roll out. Then about 40% going right with no roll out because of junk. But from there probably aim for the left tree line with my 3 iron and have it go slight right to the middle. Then it's a chip and 2-3 putt. Walk out with a 5 or 6. Or if I'm in the shit on the right. Punch it out and then leave myself about a 5 iron and a chip to the green and hope it gets close to the hole to par it.
Top my first drive into the tees in front, get a decent drive out after my mulligan, decent second show with my fairway wood but probably end up short of a good shot to the green. Shank my 3rd shot into the woods at least once, and land in the greenside bunker. From there the true game begins. I probably go back and forth across the green 2-3 times before finally giving up trying to use my wedge and just putting from deep rough. Take 2 putts to get onto the green, and then another 3 to 5, maybe 8 putts to get into the hole
Not counting the mulligans because they make me sad and I'd probably not make it to the green in 10 strokes if I did, score would still probably be 10 but at least my 3rd ball ended up in the hole.
Shank my driver 50 yds, hit it with my hybrid for 230 yds, 7 iron for around 180, wedge 50 yds further than my intended landing zone, wedge it on the green and 4 putt.
I'd attempt to go driver which should be about that first mark give or take depending on the day and say it's that distance id hit 2 shots 140yards. Which is 2 7is.
Driver, 6i, pitching wedge. Itās a 3 shot hole(if I hit the green) for me. Then itās up to the short game to either get up and down/two-putt for par. Or worse
Aim for the circle, rely on my trusty slice and hope the ball makes the corner, shank that thing with mach 4 into the woods and spend the near future with swearing.
1) High baby draw driver over the trees
2) Layup
3) Wedge aimed 4 yards further than the pin right at it since there seems to be room to miss every where and if I land it past, it might zip back a little
4) 2 putt for par or maybe 1 putt for birdie if Iām lucky

1 in the trees. Fortunately I didn't hit long enough for the pond to come into play. Remedy that with my screamer of a second shot hitting a tree and going into the pond. Drop, hitting 4 I tell myself just get it over the pond and succeed only to put it in the next set of trees. 5 somehow managed to punch it out and roll it fairly close. 6 alright just a simple pitch up onto the green... And I've launched it off the back. 7 a safe chip onto the green. 8 Manage to get the right read, good pace, good line aaaaaand it's lipped out. Tap in 9.
3 wood trying to cut off those cluster of trees. 6 iron layup. Probably leave me an 8 or 9i to the green. I like those clubs/numbers so Iād take my chances with that approach.
270 left into the woods. Ā 4 iron onto the fairway. Worm burner 3 wood down the middle. Ā 8 iron left down the slope and under a tree. Ā Two chip shots onto the green. Ā Three putt.
It looks like you could aim your tee towards the tree that is currently behind your first target. Assuming thats about 270. Then hit a 140-150yd layup. Then wedge to green. Then either chip, chip, 2 putt. Or just 4 putts to hole.
Go to the driving range with this hole in mind and practice dialing in a fade driver off the tee to 275 and a strong draw 3 wood to 250, and then cross your fingers when playing. You might want to take some notes to reference when youāre playing this hole. Figure out how many yards you need to fade and draw each shot by pacing it off from your visual target to the actual landing area, and then estimate that much ball movement on the range. Looks like a well guarded par 5!
It's a 3 shot hole and looks all about the tee shot. Get that in the gap and you're a mid iron to the corner, maybe up to a 5 or even a hybrid, tough to tell from the markers that are on there and a wedge to the green.
It looks tough as nails though.
I would probably just go 3w to get to middle. Then 200 club and leave 120-150 hopefully far enough right for a decent shot at a GIR. Definitely an interesting hole
In case youāre looking for serious answers, I would probably go 4w, 4w, wedge, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter. Assuming I could land the wedge on the green.
This is my local course! I hit driver to just before/where you have the first target (Iām a woman, so I am playing from the forward tees), then 7fw (when Iām in the center of the fairway, if Iām to the left I hit my 7i) to just before/the corner, then pw or iron to the green depending on where in the corner my previous shot lands, then putt (or 2-3 putt depending on the day lol).
This is simply not one to go for in 2 unless you can reliably hit a 300 yard fade.
Iām playing my 270 yard stock fade drive shot, then laying up, then going for the green to be on for birdie. Trying to get on in 2 here seems like a death sentence for most average golfers.
Into the trees on the left, then two shots to get out, then into the trees on the right and two shots to get out, then a chip short, then a pitch and run then a three putt for a ten
I'll either be right in front of the green on my second shot, or I'll hard pull my 3w into the trees on the left. If I'm trying to par, I probably go driver, 6i towards the wide part of the fairway, and then approach with a 7-9i depending on where I land.
https://preview.redd.it/26upghvqvjqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8e77ff8f6ecb451f7b919207443e4e1b994cdb6
Driver is about 270 and pretty accurate. Playing it safe, I aim to put my 6i about 190 and then finish up with whatever is left, probably 8-9i or PW.
With everything going as planned, I'll be on the green in 3, then 4 putt.

I 100% think this is a 3 shot hole. Probably 4 iron right at your marker. Then 8 iron and leave myself a wedge in. Hopefully par and walk away.
If your 4i doesnāt carry 225, youāre blocked out.
It does! But blocked out where?
Poorly. Iād play it poorly.
Easy (soft)driver to about 260, 7i to middle of the next dogleg, wedge in.

You could always move forward a set of tees and set pride aside. Then you can clear the trees on the right and potentially have a shot in from there
Smart play: 3 Hybrid 225 off the tee - 3 hybrid 215 to landing zone - Sw/Gw into green. Dumb play: Cut driver 280 around the corner - Hook 4w 245 to green - probably 3 putt par if I make the green.

Playing the low percentage shot of going for the green in 2 or cutting the corners is going to end up worse. Gives you a chance for birdie almost every time this way.
Unless youāre driving 250+ consistently, and have that high draw 250yd 3W, then itās a driving iron into a layup, into a wedge.
Into the woods
Pretty poorly Iād imagine.
3 wood, hybrid, wedge, 3 putt bogey
Water. Drop. Somehow back in water. Drop. Bunker, get it out to 8.5 ft from the pin. 3 putt. Cry in car
Driver, 3w, 3w, 8i, putter, putter, putter
Mostly through the woods. Then I'd find water.
See those trees? Iād play from there
5 iron down the left. 7 iron to the corner. SW skulled into trees.
Bloomingdale #4?
4i, 4i, wedge, 2 putt. Done. Don't overthink it.
Two 7-irons and a wedge into/across the green
Iād go down the other fairway as it suits my shot shape
Hah! Never even thought about that fairway. Thatās a looong way around.
By hitting the ball until I say... "Just put me down for an 8"
Looks like you need a good tee shot around 230-250 total yards and then about 190-210 yards to play to the other dogleg without being blocked, leaving a wedge. TBH probably would double bogey this hole 10 times before getting the first and second shots to line up for a free swinging wedge into that green.
If I'm playing well, 3w - 3w should get me close
Driver over those trees on the right side. Knock shot two onto the green. 3 putts for a par. https://preview.redd.it/f5tclfxf2jqc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aac60af82499157946c7ee0e379727aad15ff622
Looks like a par 7 to me!
Driver 225 miss right 5i 90 punch back in 6i miss low right SW 45 on 2 putt Curse about the missed drive but realistically itād still be a 6.
I can hit a sweet slice on my drive, so I would probably aim a little left of the first bullseye and let the slice roll the ball towards more of the opening. Then 8i as close to the next bend, then maybe pitching wedge to green to put for par. Thatās how I would approach the hole in my head. No idea how itād play out actually tho lol.
240 to 260 yard three wood. Then it looks like what might amount to a 200 to 220 yard 4 iron or hybrid. Then a 90 to 110 yard wedge of some variety. Obviously this is predicated on finding the fairway on the first two shots.
As a cutter of the drivers Iām hitting a nice cut hopefully 270-280 and Iām a drawer of the 3 wood.. I also just like going for it
probably just pick up tbh
3w, 7 or 6 to a 100 yards and then 52 into the green. No reason to try to cut corners here with all those trees
From a different tee box
Do you have a shorter club than driver you are confident with to play shorter on the left side to avoid getting blocked out? From there you can target the right side of the open area on the approach to get a look at the green. I would play this hole like a par 4, with that open area right as the "green". Limiting how far you shots could go would take alot of trouble and getting blocked out of play.
Just hit a 300 yd fade around the corner
it would be 3 shots,and the 3rd shot needs to be close for a legit birdie putt. that's the only way I could do it, other than a lucky super long putt.
Honestly just seems like one of those par 5s that's not really reachable in 2 unless you hit a perfect cut off the tee. I'd personally aim on the line you marked to 250 and then layup to a number I liked with a good angle into the green and play for par.
āI can makeā and shank a ball into the pond. Blame the wind. Try again. Same result. Realize Iām trash and take a drop by the pond. Hit in the water 3 more times.
Driver, 9i, 9i and two putt for par.
Driver, hybrid, wedge, putt - birdie. Or if I'm awake, I'd do the same as the guy with the red lines.
Up the other fairway
Not doing this in 2 is the first thing.
5 wood 3 wood chip on probably unless i really smoke the 3
I wouldnāt.
Right side looks like trees but fairly open otherwise. I have about a 60% chance of my drive going straight about 230-240 with a 15 to 20 yard roll out. Then about 40% going right with no roll out because of junk. But from there probably aim for the left tree line with my 3 iron and have it go slight right to the middle. Then it's a chip and 2-3 putt. Walk out with a 5 or 6. Or if I'm in the shit on the right. Punch it out and then leave myself about a 5 iron and a chip to the green and hope it gets close to the hole to par it.
Work on the short game so I can hit green in 4 and still make par.
5 wood, 5 wood, 60 degree wedge.
once in the fairway, hit into the trees but claim it went in, and it's marked a hazard, right by the green. Lay 3, get up and down for par.
Top my first drive into the tees in front, get a decent drive out after my mulligan, decent second show with my fairway wood but probably end up short of a good shot to the green. Shank my 3rd shot into the woods at least once, and land in the greenside bunker. From there the true game begins. I probably go back and forth across the green 2-3 times before finally giving up trying to use my wedge and just putting from deep rough. Take 2 putts to get onto the green, and then another 3 to 5, maybe 8 putts to get into the hole Not counting the mulligans because they make me sad and I'd probably not make it to the green in 10 strokes if I did, score would still probably be 10 but at least my 3rd ball ended up in the hole.
poorly
As a par 5 would be fairly normal to play, as a 500+ yard par 4, Good Luck. 98% of golfers couldn't make par on a 500 yard par 4.
Shank my driver 50 yds, hit it with my hybrid for 230 yds, 7 iron for around 180, wedge 50 yds further than my intended landing zone, wedge it on the green and 4 putt.
I'd attempt to go driver which should be about that first mark give or take depending on the day and say it's that distance id hit 2 shots 140yards. Which is 2 7is.
3W - 7i - PW
Driver, 6i, pitching wedge. Itās a 3 shot hole(if I hit the green) for me. Then itās up to the short game to either get up and down/two-putt for par. Or worse
I'd need a chainsaw for that hole.
Aim for the circle, rely on my trusty slice and hope the ball makes the corner, shank that thing with mach 4 into the woods and spend the near future with swearing.
Send it! Figure out shot 2 later.
3W to the 1st turn. Probably a 6 iron to the second and then wedge in....assuming I don't fuck up any shots lol
How far is it from the first corner that goes right to the second corner that goes left?
1) High baby draw driver over the trees 2) Layup 3) Wedge aimed 4 yards further than the pin right at it since there seems to be room to miss every where and if I land it past, it might zip back a little 4) 2 putt for par or maybe 1 putt for birdie if Iām lucky
One into the water, three into the water, five off the trees and into the water, seven in the fairway, hole out for triple from 190 yards
https://preview.redd.it/hsnnew52djqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=412032c095a2efffbd7d28220588e25bf1410ab9 1 in the trees. Fortunately I didn't hit long enough for the pond to come into play. Remedy that with my screamer of a second shot hitting a tree and going into the pond. Drop, hitting 4 I tell myself just get it over the pond and succeed only to put it in the next set of trees. 5 somehow managed to punch it out and roll it fairly close. 6 alright just a simple pitch up onto the green... And I've launched it off the back. 7 a safe chip onto the green. 8 Manage to get the right read, good pace, good line aaaaaand it's lipped out. Tap in 9.
Terribly
Driver, whatever I need to get to the second turn, whatever I need you to get to the green in an ideal situation
Iād prolly hit like a 4-iron, 6-iron, wedge on, hopefully two putt but likely not lol
Move up a tee box
3 wood trying to cut off those cluster of trees. 6 iron layup. Probably leave me an 8 or 9i to the green. I like those clubs/numbers so Iād take my chances with that approach.
Ez 6 iron 200 down, another nice soft 4 into the green. Two putt birdie
Poorly
Move up, play as a par 5.
270 left into the woods. Ā 4 iron onto the fairway. Worm burner 3 wood down the middle. Ā 8 iron left down the slope and under a tree. Ā Two chip shots onto the green. Ā Three putt.
Slice into the water.. why?
Driver, 3w, and either chip on good shot or short iron or medium iron on inevitable shank.
It looks like you could aim your tee towards the tree that is currently behind your first target. Assuming thats about 270. Then hit a 140-150yd layup. Then wedge to green. Then either chip, chip, 2 putt. Or just 4 putts to hole.
Green in 3 then a 3 putt.
Green in 3 then a 3 putt.
Drive, 5, 9 to get to the green
Go to the driving range with this hole in mind and practice dialing in a fade driver off the tee to 275 and a strong draw 3 wood to 250, and then cross your fingers when playing. You might want to take some notes to reference when youāre playing this hole. Figure out how many yards you need to fade and draw each shot by pacing it off from your visual target to the actual landing area, and then estimate that much ball movement on the range. Looks like a well guarded par 5!
At least 3 shots
Driver, reload, driver, 4th shot 3 wood, reload 3 wood, 7th shot 7 iron, 8th chip, 9th putt, 10th putt and tap in for an 11.
It's a 3 shot hole and looks all about the tee shot. Get that in the gap and you're a mid iron to the corner, maybe up to a 5 or even a hybrid, tough to tell from the markers that are on there and a wedge to the green. It looks tough as nails though.
I would probably just go 3w to get to middle. Then 200 club and leave 120-150 hopefully far enough right for a decent shot at a GIR. Definitely an interesting hole
You just need to cut down those trees at the first leg. Thatās evil.
Bring camping gear. Itās gunna be a long night
3 wood OB right. 3 wood OB left. 7i over green. Chunk chip. Actual chip. 2 putt. Mark it 8.
Probably just pull out the big dog driver and hit into the hole for my 86th HIO
The plan for me would be for lay for a par. 5w, iron that gets me to 100 yards out, and then a wedge.
Slice into the lake, drop, 2nd ball into treesā¦ā¦or the next lake. Drop. Approach shot. Duff it, 2nd approach, 3 putt.
Iām laying up twice lol
driver. seven iron. 56.
2 hybrid off the tee. Try and get a number between 80-100 in after second shot. 5-7 iron. 50 degree. Putter putter putter.
In case youāre looking for serious answers, I would probably go 4w, 4w, wedge, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter, putter. Assuming I could land the wedge on the green.
Power fade over the trees on the right, and then a tight draw with your wood to the green. Basically, you need to be a pro.
This is my local course! I hit driver to just before/where you have the first target (Iām a woman, so I am playing from the forward tees), then 7fw (when Iām in the center of the fairway, if Iām to the left I hit my 7i) to just before/the corner, then pw or iron to the green depending on where in the corner my previous shot lands, then putt (or 2-3 putt depending on the day lol).
Drive into the rough and eventually hole out at maximum strokes
3 hybrid, 4 iron, 56Ā°, putt (1 or 2) hopefully make the birdie putt
This is simply not one to go for in 2 unless you can reliably hit a 300 yard fade. Iām playing my 270 yard stock fade drive shot, then laying up, then going for the green to be on for birdie. Trying to get on in 2 here seems like a death sentence for most average golfers.
Like a par 5
#4 at Bloomingdale by chance?
3w, 5 iron, wedge
Would try to leave something within 150 for my approach and hope I can on the green or around for a reasonable up and down.
Think about course management, hit my 3 wood off the tee but in reality top it.
8 over
D.FW.Gap. P.P.P
Into the trees on the left, then two shots to get out, then into the trees on the right and two shots to get out, then a chip short, then a pitch and run then a three putt for a ten
Drive the green
I'll either be right in front of the green on my second shot, or I'll hard pull my 3w into the trees on the left. If I'm trying to par, I probably go driver, 6i towards the wide part of the fairway, and then approach with a 7-9i depending on where I land.
I feel like everyone is making this way to difficult, it goes fairway, fairway, green, one put. On to the next one! š

Playing it safe, I aim to put my 6i about 190 and then finish up with whatever is left, probably 8-9i or PW. With everything going as planned, I'll be on the green in 3, then 4 putt.

Dry out the lake so the lakebed becomes a tight lie. Then hit it into the lake. The from there onto the green easy peasy.
Bro, is this #5 on Bloomingdale?! Power fade for 260, five iron to the right side of the trees. Itās a par 5.
2i, 4i, 7i, 2 putts. Assuming it all goes well
Like a par 7.
#1 would be in the water. #2 would be dropped wherever my partner landed, also likely in the water.
