RBC Heritage Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 17 at Harbortown ahead of the RBC Heritage. 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.

  • Harbour Town’s par-3 17th hole is a pivotal scoring moment, where strategy and target selection become critical under pressure.
  • While many players instinctively aim directly at the flag, that aggressive line brings the water heavily into play and leaves little margin for error.
  • For the average 80-shooter, choosing the flag as a target shifts too much of the shot zone over the hazard, increasing the likelihood of finding the drop zone instead of the green.
  • By aiming farther right and deeper into the green, players give themselves a safer landing area, creating more birdie opportunities while dramatically reducing penalty strokes through smarter course management.
