Fred Couples Says... No. 18 (405 yards, par-4) - This is a great finishing hole. I always hit driver because I fade the ball. A lot of people hit a 1-iron or a 3-wood. You just start it at the two bunkers and then just try to work it away up the fairway. Most times, I do hit good drives, so I think the hole sets up good for me. I can go to the green with all the pins-depending on how easy I hit the drive-with a 7-iron to a wedge to a green that's pretty receptive to shots. It's just two-tiered and when the pin's in the front, it's pretty easy to get a birdie putt. When the pin's in the back, if you hit a good drive, you can still get up there. But it's the tee shot that matters. If you don't hit a good tee shot, you'll struggle for a four. If you do hit a good tee shot, you're thinking about a good second shot and maybe making a birdie.
