Pinehurst #2 (Back 9)

A definite 3 shot par 5 even with a favorable wind. A long iron 2nd shot will leave a full wedge to the green.

Hole #11:

Par 4
Champ: 433 yds
Amateur: 410 yds
Ladies: 363 yds
Handicap: 8

Utilize the fat of the fairway, possibly by using a 3 wood off the tee. You can go for it all, but there's no direction to bail, with trouble on both sides.

A full tee shot leaves only 125-135 yards to the center of the green. Might consider a 3 wood for accuracy here too.

Slight dog leg right, with a fat fairway at the ideal landing location. Go for it. May have to hit a fade, depending on how wellthe pines are trimmed. A full driver leaves a wedge, to a relatively flat, elevated green. Good chance for birdie here.

Find the fairway with your driver. Fairway bunkers on both sides if you don't. Green slopes left to right.

Another 200 yard par 3, with bunkers surrounding the front of the green.

Best to be center or left of center on tee shot. If you're too far to the right, you'll have to pitch it back into the fairway, wasting a shot. A good tee shot leaves 240-250 to the center of the green.

Easiest hole on the course. Take advantage of it. Green is undulated, mainly from right to left.

Great view of one of the most famous clubhouses in the world on the tee and approach. Perfect tee shot leaves about 160 yards to middle of green. Interesting bunker placement once again. Back portion of green near bunker is treacherous terrain.
