3 Metal. Up the middle.

I aim for the trees and hope I don't hook it.

 

[BamaFan334]

Fade, easily. I have a natural fade, so even going too far right I have a shot to find. A draw could easily have me duck hooking into the water. Less forgiving.

 

[Tidestalker]

Draw it and pretend like the water isn't there!

(Followed by humbly taking my drop & penalty stroke while trying to save bogey)

I’m with @TerryP.

 

[rammerjammer]

Meh. It's a gimme.

 

[RollllTide!]

Me a putter down the cart path. Make par

If water is around, I am putting the golf ball in it almost every time. The most frustrating game I have every tried to play.

I’ve got a 1 iron that produces a pretty good skip on calm water. That’s my best chance at getting to dry land…

It's a three shot hole; intimidating third shot. Don't even think about anything but par and I'd be good.

"Chi-Chi" Rodríguez once said he held up a one iron in a lightning storm because even God can't hit a one iron.

That’s pretty good. And I meant “skip” not “slip”. Ugh. I don’t usually take the one in the bag but when I was playing a lot 10-12 years ago, I would occasionally hit one clean with that club. Those rare hits were things of beauty.

Drink beer and drive the cart.

Yeah, I've heard that one. No one even uses those much anymore. I think it was Sandy Lyle whose driving iron carried him to a British Open victory a few years back.

Hooded ¾ 6i at this line...

 

[BamaFan334]

Fade (natural movement for my swing) my 7 iron in there aiming at the left edge of that small bunker by the green.
