Stopped golfing after high school (played on the team) and just recently got back a couple years ago and just found TST. Looking forward to connecting with other golfers and wasting as much time as I can here.

Originally from PNW but currently living in Kathmandu, Nepal - one full length course here that I joined and two 9 hole courses, plus a crazy 18 hole course about 5 hours west of Kathmandu that was featured on Skratch's Adventures in Golf that has the worlds only river island green! Been playing about once a week with no practice between (hence scores ranging from upper 70s to lower 90s) but having fun every time I go out. Still getting used to putting with monkeys running around near the green.

Welcome to The Sand Trap! Very cool picture! Do the monkeys steal the balls?

Monkeys may be preferable to the foursome I often play in.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Haven't stolen mine yet, but nabbed one of my friends last year!

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
