If you want to preserve your golf balls, take the following advice from Nettle Creek head professional Scott Ammer. A par-4 that is around 400 yards and crosses water on three separate occasions. One is directly in front of you when you tee off. The final water hazard is the one responsible for taking a majority of the balls and it guards the green. There are 1,000 different ways to play this hole.
Most people prefer to hit it to the right and have a long approach.
They are afraid of dunking the ball in the water. Even though going to the right avoids the first two water hazards, it also puts you in a tough position for your second and third shot when you attack the green. Just be prepared to add your ball to the 14,000 figure. You are probably going to bogey or worse. This is not a birdie hole by any measure.
