DFS PGA PLAYBOOK - OHL CLASSIC AT MAYAKOBA
Published: Nov 07, 2017
After these pros had to suffer through a week in a small desert town known as Las Vegas, the grind of the tour schedule takes them to the paradise known as Riviera Maya, Mexico. These players will enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and let’s be honest, who couldn't use a little work on their tan?
The OHL Classic at Mayakoba is hosted at the El Camaleon Golf Club! This course plays right along those beautiful beaches which means lots of fun wind for our players to deal with. Courses that are similar in that sense are the Sony Open (Hawaii) and the RBC Heritage (Hilton Head). It is an extremely short course at only 6,987 and listed as a par 71. A word you'll get to know well after this week is Mangroves, which are scrubs or small trees that grow in the coastal saline or brackish water. This term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. There are also canals and some sand as well, I mean, it is a beach. These players must keep their drives on the fairway to avoid all these hazards.
The players who have had success at this tournament have great accuracy from the tee and usually have high greens in regulation numbers. This does not necessarily mean Ball Striking, because that includes distance into the equation. You will see ball strikers perform well but you want to target the smarter players over the big bombers. Tee-to-Green players are always a good place to start with putting together a lineup and you've got to take a look at course history and current form. Don't forget to look at the stronger putters as well.
Lets have a strong week and remember we are just two weeks away from Thanksgiving.
