I think with any hole of this distance, if you can have the ability to go for the green, you probably should. I mean, course strategy is also dependent on course knowledge. Now, I know because I’ve played here before that that Gors and Heather stops at about 250 yards and after it at this time of year, it is quite low. So, I can take aim over the right hand side of this hole, over the gors, over the roof, almost towards the 18th T. And I know that if the wind brings it back, it’s going to be getting near the green. But even if it stays straight, I’m actually just going to have a chip across. Yeah. So if I can manage to get it in that space, there’s no danger. I should be So you’re man minimizing the risk of finding bunkers, gor penalty areas, that sort of thing. Yeah. But even like even I’d rather be in a bunker 10 yard away from the green than 160 yards away in the fairway. For amateur golfers, you know, mid to high handicappers who don’t have the ability to reach the green. Yeah. What should their approach be? The obvious way to do it is to just try and think back from the hole. So, I’ve got 300 yards. I know if I hit a 200 yard shot, it’s in the fairway, I’m going to have a 100red yard pitch. That’s a very comfortable number for me cuz then that decides almost what the club is going to be off the tea.
