JUST GET IT IN PLAY

-

Maybe you prefer to hit a fade, or you just like the idea of making sure you don’t take yourself out of the hole early. Either way, there’s plenty of room along the right. The trade-off is a longer second shot, which is a real cost because of this tiny green. Come up just a few paces short with your approach, and the ball might roll 60 or 70 yards back down the hill. Go long, and you’ll face a delicate chip back across the green that could wind up in the same place. The consolatio­n is, if you push the drive way right, there are windows in those trees. A well-judged punch from that pine straw can hold the green.
