Kaufman 8

Par 3, 200 yards

The terrain is intimidating here--the hole lies low over a hill and to the left, with a sizeable bunker grabbing misses to the left. The rest of my foursome all leaves it right and makes a mess coming back; I leave it short and left and am OK.

I take 7-wood off the tee and curl it perfectly over the hill and to the front edge of the green next to the bunker (nearly in it). But my sand wedge is too strong from there and I launch it to the bank fringe. But I save a good 20-foot lag coming back and come out with a bogey 4.
