Here's a hole with some character. Par-5,
usually downwind, very inviting to bombing the ball off the tee
... which leads to overswinging and blocking, resulting in a
push-slice. That's probably why the bunkering is only on the
right side of the fairway. The second shot, if not going for the
green, is just as important. There is a deep swale that bottoms
about 120 yards from the green. From that position is a blind
shot to the green, which is protected in the front right and left
by three rows of tiered bunkers. There is also a bunker behind
the green to catch airmails. Crucial in this hole is to pick the
right club from the bottom of the swale to reach and hold the
green. It's usually one more club, in spite of the favorable
wind.
