I am having a devil of a time figuring out how to get close on the third hole. Any brilliant ideas?
This is where having 3 wedges instead of 2 and a hybrid pays dividends. Drive short of the mound and use a punched or full swing wedge from there. Back spin will control the shot-top into wind, back with wind. The key is having 6 different yardages covered with 3 wedges and knowing how to use them. That hole should be a fairly regular birdie for you.
A word on that particular green. Kiawah was an early effort by WGT to map greens and they didn't get it exactly right on that course. The 3rd green happens to be the worst in the game, IMO. 4 foot putts are always an adventure. They've made great progress in mapping since then but have never bothered to go back and refine what they did there. Getting close is paramount and that's where all those shot choices will solve your problem.
p.s., You really would use a 3rd wedge way more than that HB. ;-)
