Aim just to the right of the left fairway bunker and then calculate your odds of making the green in two. The obstacles: an oak tree just in front of the green, a massive strategic bunker on the right side of the fairway, water and bunkers to the left. A deep but narrow green awaits a well struck approach.
Hit the tee shot 220-230 yards from Blue to center the widest mapped first-shot window—approximately 34 yards across, leaving roughly 310 yards to green center.
Recon cue
Make three decisions, not one. Lay up to a number whenever the oak compromises the window.
