Golf is a game of managing your misses. Properly planning
your way around a golf course will ultimately lead to better
scores. It is important to recognize where you'd like to play
your next shot from, whether you execute your ideal shot
correctly or not. e 5th hole at North Jersey Country Club
is a long, uphill par 4 with a tricky green complex. As you can
see, missing the green in either the right or le bunkers is no
picnic. e correct miss would be just in front of the green.
is means if you are in between clubs on your approach
shot, you should choose the shorter club. In the event that
you do not execute your ideal shot, your next shot will
end up in a spot that you can easily get up and down from.
