" -Jeff Drimel ou'll need to save your best for last at Medina, as No. 18 requires at least three good shots to escape with a par. This long, tree-lined hole doglegs just slightly right-and tests a golfer on every shot. It's narrow and intimidating off the tee with a large, bunkered and undulating green that requires a precise approach to score. " It's a great fi nishing hole because a good drive is imperative, " says pro Jeff Drimel. " If you don't hit the fairway, it is very unlikely you will hit the green in two. If you hit the fairway, you still have a long approach to a well-guarded green. And if you don't club yourself correctly and you end up on the wrong portion of the green, you're looking at a three-putt fi nish.
