I have always aimed left as well most likely due to the fact that I missed wide righ my first time out there. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) I hav ended up in that back bunker a few times. I might try Matt's advice and aim a little more right next time.

Very interesting that you aim to the left center of this green. I always try for the right side of the green as a ball that ends up anywhere on the right side leaves a manageable putt to any hole location. The bounces off the left side can also be more variable than on the right side. I have found that typically when I end up in the back bunker it is the result of landing my tee shot on the back side of the front left knob.

A great short par 3 and a lot of fun to play. I found playing to the front of the green was the safe and for me, smart play. Avoid the back bunker as that will be an intimidating shot. I speak from experience, a look at birdie can easily lead to you walking up the hill to #4 wondering why you are writing a "4" on your card. This is a tricky green.
