Roller - Mongoose

The hole is slanted down from left to right the whole way. I'd love to see a good roller thrown on it. There's now way that MY roller would stand a chance. I'd end up lost in the woods to the right for sure. :wall:

I've 3'd this one before. I probably threw QOLF/QOLF/Aviar to do so. I might go with a Tern off of the tee now, to hopefully end up with a shorter approach, although the QOLF is still the most controllable driver in my bag.
 
Yeah, a roller would be a gutsy call unless you're a roller king.

Something Crave-like is a good bet. You can also fade to the left of the tree, which is actually a safer second shot if you have a decent forehand. Just have to avoid the road OB.

Fun hole. The second shot can be tough with a low ceiling due to the tree's sprawling branches. Good course, I need to get back there.

Those pics are from the short Red tee which is 515'.
The Blue is the Long Tee and is 665' and this video is marked wrong as you can see the short Red tee in front.
