  Saint Andrews hole 17 has always been a challenge for me moving across tiers and still is, I was -4 up before the whole and ended up wasting 3 on it for triple bogey. Any valuable advice will be highly appreciated.

  Thanks in Advance

  This seems to work.

  Seriously it is a tricky hole and a thread i have thought about starting.  I think not bashing the drive as hard as u can and just trying to land it on any decent piece of Fairway is a good start.

  Keep it in the short grass.  Stay out of trouble.  Lay up if you've got a short game.

  Valuable advise?  Probably not.  Just stating the obvious.  Oh yeah, you misspelled "hole"  Good Luck.

  Stating the obvious as well.

  What works for me is trying to land the  approach shot a bit short and right of the flag.

  that is a good call Donko especially when the flag is further back on the green, for example than in my replay.  I think it may suggest that in the Hole Info. for that hole. Also, as u approach the green, left of the bunker that sits next to the hole is Fairway not rough and not a bad place to miss-hit it.
