HOLE 8 - The Curve

Approximately 30 meters separate the green from the 7th of the tee of the 8th, surround the practice green, approach zone and bunker. The path serves for making a quick recount of the card and to see that this hole, pair 4 of 350 meters from the yellow, is the third most complicated hole of the round, handicap 3.

The sketch of the hole in the sign informs us that we are facing a hole with a pronounced dogleg to the left and outside limits marked from the tee to the corner. We can also observe the red watertight across all of the right margin of the hole. But, don´t get scared, with the lap you are doing you are sure to land it on the fairway. After having done a great exit, though long, we start to walk towards are second strike, surely you thought the corner of the fairway was closer, it’s true, from the tee we cannot see the small valley that stretched the fairway.

This second one is a strike that entails a certain degree of complexity. We have the green at 140-150 meters, well defended, water to the right, bunkers all around and situated above the fairway level.

A short strike can put the ball in the water after rolling down the ledge. If you want to play in a more conservative manner, lean to the left, there´s less margin for error. But today is not the day to be conservative after all the strikes you´ve done, go ahead, attack that green.

Great, the ball is in the green, the problem is that the flag is placed in the superior platform and we are in the inferior one. This is a good green to show your ability as a kicker, show it.
