Hole 13 (Par 5)

This is the type of par 5 that can play very simply or it can be like a row of dominoes. One mistake can trigger one disaster after another. The drive is a simple one; just avoid the two fairway bunkers guarding the left side of the landing area. If the second shot is hit from the fairway, the first set of cross bunkers should not be difficult to carry. if the drive finds one of the fairway bunkers, then the cross bunkers can become a frightening hazard. This same situation occurs for the third shot. The green is a relatively simple target from the fairway, an the cross waste bunker short of the green should not cause a problem when hitting the green. The cross waste bunker can be hazardous if the golfer is trying to hit over it from the first set of cross bunkers, or is trying to hit out of it to the green. Therefore, if anywhere during the hole the golfer ends up in a fairway bunker, he might want to consider chipping out short, and taking his chances for a sure bogey instead of trying a heroic shot to save par.
