On Par
Kranji Hole # 4 In the previous article, I wrote about not playing particularly well on long dog-leg left Par 4. So for a short dog-leg right Par 4, the outcome should be the opposite.
At 251m from the Blue tees, this is a drivable Par 4 for some golfers. When I was younger and hitting longer, I did drive the green once, and missed the eagle putt, but did 2-putt for birdie.
If one can reach the green( or hit 220m and beyond) with the tee shot, please remember to let the front flight clear the green before hitting.
A more conventional way of scoring on this hole would be to hit the drive over the bunker in the middle of the fairway, leaving about a short approach of about 60m. Even with a shorter club off the tee, as long as one crosses the bunker, the approach should be less than 100m.
The green is slightly upward sloping when approaching from the center of the fairway, providing a bit of backstopping buffer for attacking pins. Approach shots that are too long will bring bunkers at the back left into play. Misses to the right end up on the steep slopes leading to the wetland, so try to avoid the right as much as possible.
The green isn ' t a very large green, so two putts for par should be doable. Golf is easy( when writing about it).
