Windham Championship Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 5 at Sedgefield Country Club ahead of the Windham Championship. 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.

  • Sedgefield Country Club, host of the Wyndham Championship, features only two par-5 holes, making them major scoring opportunities for the field.
  • Last year, 58 eagles were recorded on these two par fives, showing just how important they are for low scoring.
  • However, only eight of those eagles came from players who missed the fairway, proving that accuracy off the tee is the biggest key to converting eagle chances.
  • With fairways around 300 yards out measuring only about 30 yards wide, players must prioritize placement over maximum distance.
  • To improve accuracy, many golfers will tee down their driver or choose a fairway wood, giving themselves the best chance to hit the fairway and create realistic eagle opportunities.
