  What are you doing?

  Off Master Tees, with what you have, the only problem should be clubbing down far enough to not sail over.

  Thanks for you reply

  i aim right with a wood off the tee,have approx 230 to green,but always end up before or in bunkers guarding the green,maybe need another aim point of the tee

  I agree with JIm, with your equipment and tees this should be pretty easy.

  Been a while since Master tees, but I assume you are playing 3W from the tee? The only problem can be stopping the ball downwind, but into the wind from 230 out you should not be in the front bunker.

  I did not look at your irons but from 230 out and downwind my R11 3I will make it (depending on the wind choking it down).

  All that said, I detest Kiawah so do not play it often.

  Are you giving your approach shot to the green full backspin to give you more distance in the air?

  If u r on the margin for reaching then a guaranteed birdie is lay up to the left under 60 yards.

  Edit: I do remember holing out from that bunker with a 50 yard punch for a 34 yard shot aiming slightly left,

  Why not try driver to the next part of the FW?
