Detroit Golf Club’s par-3 11th hole, featured in the Rocket Mortgage Classic, plays as the toughest par three on the course and consistently produces high scores.
Last year, 108 bogeys were made on the hole, and nearly half of them (44%) came from tee shots that finished short of the green.
This highlights how missing short is the most costly mistake, making target selection more important than simply aiming at the flag.
From 190 yards, golfers should plan for a shot zone depth of roughly 16 to 25 yards depending on their skill level.
By choosing a target deep enough on the green, players reduce the chance of coming up short and dramatically improve their ability to avoid bogey.
