For me two ways to play that hole, full swing high or punch low. I opt for high. I move back from the tee markers as much as allowable, tee up as far right as possible, ball forward and full swing with the 9. Works most of the time. I have more of a problem with the fourth hole, especially when the wind is blowing.....like it does all the time!
