Hole 7 is a
moderately long dogleg left. The trees on
the left are serious trouble. The few trees on the right are more
forgiving unless you hit the second oak in this picture or boom
your drive into trees in the distant right. Hit a decent drive to
the right side of the fairway to ensure an open second shot that
doesn't get you into more trouble.
The black tees
are far enough forward that senior citizens can make the green in
two good shots. The trees on the left will block your
approach shot and force you right, where you have to hit over a bunker
on your third shot. A drive down the middle avoids these problems.
A drive from the
white tee landed here, a bit too far right, but the golfer has
just hit an an open shot to the left side of
the fairway, which avoids the front bunker on the next shot.
This is a typical
third-shot approach location for a second shot that didn't hug the left side
of the fairway. It's an open shot but with little room for error,
especially for a forward pin location behind the bunker. You
can see that an approach from the left side is much more forgiving
-- there is a wide apron and the bunker is not in play for a
reasonable shot.
