The 11th hole at TPC Southwind is an intimidating mid-iron shot for many average golfers, drawing comparisons to the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass.
From roughly 150 yards, golfers who typically shoot in the 90s should expect a shot zone about 15 yards deep and 25 yards wide.
With a green measuring only 20 yards deep by 30 yards wide, aiming directly at the flag dramatically increases the risk of finding the water.
Regardless of pin position, the smartest target is the back-middle portion of the green, which best matches the player’s natural dispersion.
This conservative target choice maximizes margin for error, helping players avoid the water while still giving themselves a realistic chance to hit the ball close.
