The 18th hole at TPC Louisiana presents a demanding driving challenge, where accuracy off the tee is critical to avoid big trouble.
While aiming down the center of the fairway seems logical, typical amateur shot zones make that strategy risky.
For a player driving the ball around 250 yards with a shot zone roughly 50 yards wide, a center target allows part of the dispersion to leak into the water.
Shifting the target line toward the left side of the fairway better accounts for natural dispersion and removes the water from play.
This example highlights how smart target adjustment off the tee leads to more fairways hit and fewer penalty strokes through intentional strategy rather than perfect execution.
