Here’s an example hole-out. I also like this cut shot into a tough pin.
Here’s an example hole-out.
Put your tee shot up on the grassy hill to the right, and bring you approach over the top to the green.
This hole-out to a back pin was otherwise water-bound for sure!
Check out the bank-in on this short par 3.
There are some spots to work your tee shot through the trees into the green, depending on your setup. I have had success a couple different ways here. From the front box, you can ram a 9-iron through the gap where it will hit the leaves and settle. More easily, though, you may also be able to curve a wedge around the trees into the green.
From the middle box with the setup shown, I’d ram an 8-iron straight through the gap ahead (or just around to the right) and expect it to get knocked down onto the green.
From the back boxes, use a 6-iron or 7-iron to fight through more of the leaves.
You can also attempt a half-pullback, smooth forward shot with a lower-lofted club, but that’s much more difficult to control. However, from the back-left box, here’s an amazing ace through the trees! Here’s another amazing 6-iron through the tree gaps. Otherwise, if the risk isn’t worth it, just lay out right and be safe.
Usually you’re curving right-to-left into the second fairway, trying to stretch as far left as possible to give you a straighter look at the green. Here’s a great hole-out after a long drive on this tough hole!
Sometimes there’s an angle straight through the trees to the left, allowing you to shoot straight out into the second fairway with a good clear angle into the green.
This 5-wood stayed left the whole way, caught the green, and spun back in!
This tee box was tucked back in the trees, but this 3-wood went through them and angled back for a dunk — awesome.
And here’s a beautiful ace with the 0-hybrid.
