your thoughts has been a possibility in my mind when i play.....cant put the tee shot in front of water as about 150 yards from there is a big ole oak tree....

teeing off with a 5 iron could be the answer.....put it down the fairway about 160 or 170 yards and then come back with a 3-wood to setup for the wedge into the green....

this hole plays about 500 yards...but a good long tee shot can reach a big hill and the roll can take you down to where you could easily have a shot of gettin on in two...which could lead to something i just thought of...maybe i'm playing the hole as if i could be putting for an eagle and overswingin to get that 250 or so yard drive....

i'll probably be playing in a day or two and try the 5 iron off the tee and maybe come back with a five iron...but ususally the 2nd-3rd shot are fine...just the initial tee off shot it has that eye for the water....

very good advise....will definately make another post if all seems to go fine..

tks
