This
hole is worthy of it's position on the score card. Number
18 sums up what Hells Point is all about. It possesses
most all of the courses fine attributes but yet gives
ample opportunity to score a par or better.
The
Drive
The
ideal tee ball here should be struck towards the left
side of the bunker with a little right to left shape.
The bunker starts about 200 yards from the middle tee
and is between 170 to 200 yards from the green. Avoid
this hazard at all costs! The fairway slopes gently
to the left and will kick shots on the left into the
rough or beyond.
The
Approach
Presuming
the golfer has avoided the bunker he will be facing
an approach of about 170 yards from a gentle downhill
lie. The green is characteristically elevated a few
feet and slopes from the back to the front, so use a
little extra club. This 'bell' shaped putting green
is guarded by three strategically placed, but fair bunkers.
The
Green
Seemingly
flat, this putting green should be the kindest one on
the course. It's an optical illusion. This surface has
bewildered some of the best golfers. Due to it's subtle
breaks, this green is becoming known as the " I
can't believe it did that" green.
