Back drop trees to provide This type of hole is designed for
sense of scale golfers to play ball position for an eas-
ier shot to the intended target area and
be able to score well. In this example,
golfers must try to place the ball left of
the center of the tee. There are no haz-
ards, however, the prevailing winds
can push ball to the right, or moving
the ball in the direction of the water
hazard. Good ball location in the fair-
Second Landing Area

second and third shot. Missed shots are
not severely punished.
Placements of trees are impor-
tant for aesthetic reasons and to guide

Notice that the hole is telling

8. Heroic Hole
This hole type provides
a player with the challenge of
risk and reward. The player
decides how much he wants to
risk from the teeing ground.
Playing it safe will result that
your second shot to the green
will be longer, and miss the
opportunity to make a birdie or
par. The expense is loosing
one stroke.
Taking the longer route
to the green, (risk value) there
is little room for error, but a Bite off as much as
significantly shorter approach you can. Risk takers
is your reward. Your chances will be rewarded
of making birdie has increased with a shorter
second shot..
or at least make par.

impression a person sees that will influence him/her to either pur-

created.
