In my humble opinion the green to the three-shot hole must be beyond the range of any player who misses either his drive or second stroke.
Dog-legging enables us to accomplish this. But the most effectual method, and I believe the only satisfactory one, is the location of a truly
formidable hazard across the fairway. This must be carried with the second shot if the green is to be gained with third. Obviously this break in the fairway must be great, let us say 100 yards, for it not only has to be crossed with the second, but it also must keep any shot short of it from
getting home. Refer to the rough sketch, and in it there will be found the
idea of the three-shot hole in which the great hazard is a prime factor. --
