Tee shot Too long and you

hit azalea-covered bank

behind green; too short

and you roll back

into creek

On green Wide

green but not very

deep; slopes toward

water; long putts difficult

Tee shot Long drive to centerof fairway required; it must missstream on left side of fairway

ApproachMust be long and

well-placed to reachgreen in two strokes

Tee shot Stay to left of fairway; improves angle on next shot

Approach Long way to green, but tooaggressive a shot can go into water or bunker
