The finishing hole gives plenty of opportunity to close the
round with a birdie, but equally opens the door to stumble and maybe fall
prey to a last chance press from your opponent. A challenging par 5 gives
plenty of room for the long ball off the tee, as long as you're straight.
Drift left and your into the woods. Push right and you may find the pond
that runs diagonally through the fairway.
A short drive will leave you facing a critical decision. Try to clear the
pond in two, or lay up and have a 200 yard plus, shot into the green. Either
way, once you take aim at the green you'll need to negotiate the large bunker
blocking the left side and the large bunker behind the right side. The green
is doubled tier, so finding the right level will increase your odds of making
that final putt. |
