Caddie's game plan — Justin
↙
Off the tee: aim right-center and let the draw feed to the middle. Your slight draw is an asset — it adds run and suits several holes that bend left. Right-center aim gives the draw room to work and keeps you safe when the bigger hook shows up. Left rough at Torrey Pines is thick and punishing. On the handful of holes with steep left-side consequences, the tee shot notes flag a 3-wood as an alternative.
🏌️
Off the fairway, the hook is sharper and lower — aim accordingly. On approach shots and layups, the hook can be more severe than off the tee. Aim right of your intended target on approaches, especially with longer irons. Prefer shorter irons and wedges where you have more control — your short game is solid enough to protect par from there.
⛳
Par 5 formula: driver + layup to 90–110 yds + wedge. At 240–260 you're a 3-shot player on all four par 5s. That's completely fine — a full wedge from 100 yards is a legit birdie shot. Holes 2, 9, 14, and 16 are your best birdie opportunities each round.
🎯
Your short game and putting are assets — use them. When you miss a green, you have the game to get up and down. Simple chip to a manageable distance, then trust the putter. Don't over-complicate the short game shots.
🎯
At 16 hdcp you get strokes on 16 of 18 holes. The only exceptions are hole 2 (hdcp 17) and hole 16 (hdcp 18). On every other hole, a bogey is a net par — so avoiding double bogey matters more than chasing birdie. Take the conservative tee club when in doubt, get it on the green, and let your solid short game and putter do the work.
