This course was rated one of the top 100 courses by Golf Digest. Designed by Greg Norman, it's an absolutely fantastic course. This par 3 plays about 180 yards. The temple in the left background is quite famous. [IMG ALT="image.jpg"]http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/92818/[/IMG] This is the hole before the first par 3 above. Unlike a lot of the courses I play here in Japan, the fairway bunkers are quite often in play regardless of which tees you play from. Here the ideal shot is to carry the right bunker, but if you slice it... Then you could stay left but if you hit it long..... Or thread the needle between them. Regardless, there is an over-grown stream cutting across the fairway in front of the green. Another instance of a stream protecting the green. My playing partner here hit it a bit short/right whereas I have an easier shot another 20 yards slightly to the left.

Thanks. It was a great trip. I've never been big on scenery when playing but this was actually so distracting it affected my game. The caddies served as 'scenery' also.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.
