How to Attack a Par Three | Golf Course Management [Hole 6]
Great holes don’t have to be long — and hole 6 is proof. At just 95 yards this short par three is a birdie opportunity, but only if you make smart decisions from tee to green. Todd Kolb, Director of Instruction for US Golf TV, breaks down everything from tee selection to one of the best green reading tips in golf.
🏌️ What You’ll Learn on Hole 6:
1. Always Tee It Up When You Can
One of the simplest tips in golf that too many amateurs overlook. When the rules allow you to tee the ball up — do it. It’s the easiest way to guarantee a clean lie and a solid strike especially on shorter shots where precision matters most.
2. Short Holes Are Green Light Opportunities
Todd explains why recognizing a true birdie opportunity — and having the confidence to go after it — is one of the most important strategic skills a recreational golfer can develop. Short par threes with a middle pin are exactly the kind of holes where you should be attacking.
3. The Water Flow Green Reading Method
One of the most useful putting tips in the series. Todd walks through his green reading process — starting with the overall slope of the green, narrowing into the quadrant where the ball will actually roll, and then asking the key question: if it rained an inch right now, where would the water flow? That answer almost always tells you everything you need to know about the break.
4. Focus on Your Quadrant
Todd explains why great putters don’t try to read the entire green — they narrow their focus to the specific area the ball will travel through. Everything outside that quadrant is a distraction.
Smart strategy, a great green reading tip and a reminder that some of the best holes in golf are the shortest ones.
