Hole 2 Discussion

Pink Dogwood is a downhill par 5. The fairway bunker on the right is reachable, but players can get extra rollout as the fairway drops rapidly after this point.

The green is extremely challenging and is guarded by two large bunkers. Approach and short game will be key here.

“There’s a lot of strategy involved because how you play your second and third shots depends greatly on where the flagstick is. If the pin is on the left you want to play right. If the pin is on the right, you want to play way left.”

“They key at No. 2 is just getting your drive in play, because you can make a [birdie] or [eagle] from the fairway. If there’s another key, it’s to miss, for the most part, with the exception of the back-right pin, is to stay right on your second shot. You can be in the fairway, you can be on the green, you can be in the bunker. Just be right and you’ll be fine and you’ll be eliminating the big number.”
