10th
Hole
Low
Handicap Player:
Using a fairway wood, the player should definitely
favor the right side of the fairway. The fairway slopes
from right to left. Landing the shot slightly into
the right rough or the first cut of the rough will
permit the shot to feed down to the center or left
side of the fairway. This will permit him to hit a
high approach, which will land softly and hold the
green. He should be aware of where the pin is as the
green is somewhat of a "bowl" with a slight
plateau on the left side. Hitting over the green is
a problem.
Average
Handicap Player: The player should use a
driver from the tee. Since he has a tendency to move
the ball from left to right, he will hit a "cut"
or "slice" into the hill and this will help
him, as the ball will feed down to the left. The player
must remember that he will be hitting a less lofted
iron, into an elevated green and therefore the ball
will tend to release. A shot that lands slightly short
of the green and feeds onto it will have a good chance
to hold the green. |
