Joe,
It's a wonderful starting hole.
Not too long, with options that make it interesting.
Good birdie hole, but, I've seen some high numbers if the golfer gets lulled into sleep or carelessness.
It usually plays downwind.
There are some GREAT photos (circa 1936) in the clubhouse when the right side prior to the offset fairway was all sand, pew like in nature. Really neat. Unfortunately, over the years, grass in the form of rough has covered over the sand.
