"The Challenging 17th: A Precise Approach Required"

The 17th hole at Winged Foot Golf Club's West Course is a demanding dogleg that requires accuracy and strategy. The ideal drive is down the right side, setting up a level stance for the second shot into a narrow green. However, a new tee and bunker placement forces even the longest players to favor the left side, necessitating a precise approach to hold the offset green. A mound in the center right of the green affects most putts and conceals back-right flagstick positions, adding to the challenge. Golfers must navigate this hole with precision and skill to avoid trouble and secure a good score.
