I personally like the left gap. Try a nice straight forehand or even a backhand anhyzer with an understable putter or midrange.
This one is not as frightening as it appears (unless the water is WAY up). Stable midrange on a nice hyzer is all you need. Going over the inlet is safer than going at it from the left side.
Back hand is safest; something with a slight turnover but not to much. Keep it in the fairway for an easy 3.
