| It
is hard to describe the challenge of this hole in words. From
the competition tee you face a shot over a valley of light
rough to an up sloping fairway. The entire right-hand side
of the hole is lined with gorse, beautiful to look at when
in bloom, not so nice to take a penalty drop out of! On the
left hand-side is light rough, trees and more clumps of gorse.
If the tee shot finds fairway the second shot is blind and
can be anything from a fairway wood to a long iron over the
hill to a small green. The green is guarded by one bunker
and two hawthorn trees to the left, the previously mentioned
gorse closes to a few metres on the right of the green. The
green is fairly flat with a mild break from right to left. |
Pro's
Tip: If you are worried that you can’t reach the green
with your second, don’t try, you’ll only try to
force it and put it into real trouble. Play short and go for
the pitch and putt par.
