Sierra Del Rio Hole #3 Back Tees 600 yds – Middle Tees 520 yds – Time-20:00 Pull out the “big dog on this one and let it hunt”. A double dogleg. Phelps took a teeing ground “way back there” and built a great hole. From the back you must carry it about 235 to a landing area that looks about the size of a dime. But it really is bigger than it appears. A good drive out about 300 will give you a glimpse of the front of the green. Taking a second shot over the desert to the right, as the crow flies, might get you home but you need another carry of at least 240. The “s” shaped hole is out for the taking but the eagle “3” you are thinking about might have to be closed into a snowman “8” if there is the slightest miscue. This is the first example of risk reward the course has to offer. Most golfers will play it from the middle tees to the large landing area, staying out of the bunker on the right, a mid iron to the second landing area, a short wedge to the green, then two putts for par or one for birdie.
