Charles Schwab Challenge Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 5 at Colonial Country Club ahead of the Charles Schwab Challenge. The discussion focuses on how players approach scoring opportunities, manage risk off the tee, and position themselves for success on a course designed to reward smart decision-making.

  • Colonial Country Club is one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour, yet remains a difficult test due to its tight corridors and strategic demands.
  • The fifth hole exemplifies this challenge, measuring just 300 yards but featuring a narrow 27-yard fairway that limits margin for error.
  • Rather than relying on distance, players are often forced to prioritize accuracy by choosing fairway woods or long irons off the tee.
  • Staying in the fairway with a controlled tee shot is critical on this hole, as positioning outweighs power when it comes to scoring opportunities.
