How to Play This Hole

Its getting better by the hole and now you are challenged by the 2nd of the four par 3s and the first with water in the picture. I remember years ago when PGA TOUR Champion, Lanny Wadkins (a great long iron player) gave some great advice in a junior clinic that I was hosting. He said when you have to go over a hazard, water or bunker, to pick a target above and behind your intended landing area it will take your mind and eyes off and above the perceived problem. That is good advice here as you need to carry the water and the bunker to put a smile on your dial. The green is deeper than it looks (22m) and will accept your longer club. The conservative play is to the right, chip and putt! Where's your camera when you need it?
