trees. With an out-of-bounds paralleling the entire left side of the fairway,
the players must hit a good drive to a landing area which has fairway
bunkers on both left and right. The second is still a blind shot, aim
to the left side of a high flag post indicating the green. Only one bunker
at the right of the green. For very long and narrow green, approaching
shot accurate yardage is needed for birdies opportunity. |
