Hole from Sunday...what are you hitting?

[NJBigFish22]

I would hit 5 or 7 wood, and hope that I can make a bogey. 

[egonz]

From the next tees up

[KMP23]

How much downhill? Looks like quite a bit. So depending on wind and pin placement anything from 5 iron to bump a driver.

[bobleeswagger]

I’m not very good yet and I don’t have a full bag of clubs.  I would take a 5i off the tee for 200-225 yards if I do my part, have a short chip, and hopefully 2 putt.

 

In a scramble, I’d hit a controlled driver.

[TCGolfer35]

3 DHY and likely flare it right. 

[Jim53]

Driver for sure, most likely come up just short and wedge close for an easy par. At least that is the positive outlook, most likely scrambling for a bogie or worst is reality.

[Primo1868]

17 degree 2 hybrid 

[Jackal]

I have the most control  with my 5 wood .

Hit 5 wood about 225, and after it rolls out play what's  left.

[Ferguson]

Hybrid 3 

219, slightly uphill

Result - bird.

6i, but it depends on elevation and weather. Could be 7i if > 2000 ft and warm, but definitely 6i if on the coast.

So you hit your 6i 230/240ish?! Wow

So driver ~340+??? You must have Bryson club head speed. Wow again. Impressive 

[Esox]

Cut a 3 wood in from the left side to take the bunker out of play. It would end up 10 yards below the hole. 4 putt from there.........

Laying up is the smart move....

 

3W into wind, 2H wind at my back.  Either way I'm probably trying to get up and down for my par.

[PoeKingShankspeare]

down hill.... 5w hoping it rolls up lol

[nitram]

Teed 3-iron is normally 230 yard carry and kick forward another 30-40 ft. That should leave about a 35-40 ft. 2-putt and move on to the next one.

[zaccaf]

Probably 3w or choke driver.

[ChristopherMcDonald]

I'm giving everything I got to my 3 wood and saying a prayer lol

[ac6]

Don't know how this one got necrobumped, but I'll bite. I think I'm aiming at right edge of the green and hitting a smooth draw with a 3H. Slightly downhill that'll fly about 235, land just short, and roll out to 245-250 or so in the fat part of the green. If the pin's back I'll just take the long putt. 

[ANimz]

I would have to hit a cut 3W shot.  Might be able to reach the front with my 2 hybrid, but would all depend on environmental factors.  That's a difficult par 3.    

[HoosierHacker89]

I’d hit driver and not think twice about it.

Depends on the wind, but probably knockdown 3 iron, aim just left and hit standard baby fade. Land about 5 yards short and roll it up to pin high. If it doesn't fade then I'd be on the left side of the green pin high, easy 2 putt.

Dude ... it was a 7i last Sept, a year later it's a knockdown 3i ... it's been a rough year.

Better players could hit a 7i, 6i, 4i, 3i, 3W, etc. to that hole. The question is what is the best club choice, not what club you can hit at 100% power to reach the green with a flush shot. I have learned that concept in recent months, maybe you have not yet reached that point of your golf game.

 

Knockdown 3i is what I would use today, yesterday I may have chosen something different, tomorrow I may have a new idea. If you aren't learning and getting better as a golfer then you're falling behind. That's the TW ethos.

Is that why you deleted your post? Dude, you kill me.

Old age is like civilizational collapse, I guess:  slowly, then all at once.

 

For me?  253 yds down hill is a 3W.  Only because I'm too stubborn and dumb to grab a driver.  Aim at bunker in OP photo, and hope it draws.  

 

Why're we playing this far back again??
