The fsixteenth hole is a par five that is very getable if you hit the right shots. Your caddy (Jim) suggests you hit a 3 wood off the tee which will force you to play another 3 wood into the green.

Do you wish to hit a [[3wood]] or a [[driver]]?You hit a perfect cut fade landing your tee shot 224 yards from the pin and in the ideal spot to give you a great line into the green. Once you reach your ball you start to discuss your next shot with Jim. He tells you that the safe shot would be to hit a wedge to layup to about 104 that would leave you with a full wedge into the hole that should make for a stress free birdie. He also explains the risky route where you hit a four iron and play for the green which could allow you to make an eagle. The danger to this shot is the water that goes completely up the right side. Are you hitting a [[wedge]] or the [[4iron]].You pushed your drive a bit and now find yourself in the sand. You have a perfect lie which still could allow you to play for the green.
