This par-5 hole used to pose a great
risk-reward situation for the player. In the old times you could
make any number here, from 3 to 7, or more. But now, going for
the green in two shots is pretty much suicidal. Heavy bunkering
on either side of the fairway will punish anything but a prefect
drive. And even then, the undulations on the fairway may make it
nearly impossible to strike with solid contact a fairway metal.
"Devlin's Billabong" lurks farther ahead, in front of the green,
threatening to gobble up whatever comes its way. A safe second
shot, if you still decide to go for it, is to aim at the narrow
passageway between the pond and the greenside bunker. From there,
dry land, a birdie is still a possibility.
