Staying out of trouble off the tee can mean the difference between a birdie or a double bogey, as the rough along the fairway is very thick. Try to place a tee shot as straight and close to the opening to the left as possible, and you can then air out your second shot a little more to push toward the basket. Keep in mind the the elevation goes down past the basket, so going long can lead to a longer putt.

Placement of your tee shot is of utmost importance. Too long or too short and you'll have a tough time finding a good line to get out of the woods and into the meadow for your approach to the basket.

The best I've seen this played, Jim F. used a controlled shot that faded right to mid-fairway just past the right hand bend, setting up a traditional left-fading 2nd drive that got near the cedar grove surrounding the pin. Beautiful three. The worst was when I got in the thick and thought I could get out forward, rather than taking my lumps and pitching out to the fairway. Did it four times. Ugly ten. Never again. Pitch out of trouble!
