Your drive has to be long and positioned nicely to have a clean approach shot.  You can either fly right over the sand, or try an A1-type shot as well.  Here’s a nice hole-out.  And here’s a fun angled dunk.

This is a tricky little cut shot with not much room for error.  It’s easy to find the water if you’re too aggressive, but it’s also easy to find the tree leaves if you don’t start out far enough right off the tee.

Here is an excellent ace from the front of the box.  This one found the cup with the 9-wood.  Here’s a longer one from the middle of the box.  From the back box, this 5-wood found the hole.

Here’s a hole-out from the sand after laying up straight ahead.

Here’s a nice hole-out after a long drive.  Sometimes you may need a driver approach into this elevated green.  While the water in front is cause for concern, it also creates a situation where a firmly-hit driver can skip the water and bounce up onto the green — check out this amazing hole-out!

This is a really tough hole to stick the green — you may not be able to do it with certain setups.  Aces are rare here — but here’s a great one with the 3-wood.

Get your drive as long and left as possible to give you room on the approach.  Here’s a straight-in look after a long drive.

Here’s an ace from the front box.  Here is a dunk from the middle box, and this one used the back hill nicely.

From the front box, this 7-wood falls just short of the leaves to bounce up and into a front cup.  And here’s an awesome 9-wood right over the top that finds the hole!
