| Having
caught your breath following the climb to the second tee,
prepare to have it taken away again by the stunning views
of the Scottish coast and the Antrim Plateau and by the sight
of Cairndhu’s signature hole. On the tee the you are
almost 100 metres above the Famous Antrim Coast Road and facing
a shot from an elevated tee to a long narrow green that falls
away sharply to the left to light rough and is bunkered on
the front right-hand side. The club selection is vital and
is totally dependent on the weather. Depending on the direction
of the wind a player could hit anything from a lob wedge to
a one iron. Having safely found the putting surface the only
significant borrow is from the left edge to the centre of
the green. |
Pro’s
Tip: Have the courage of your convictions, especially into
the wind – hit the ball better, not harder, and use
the slope to the right of the green to gather the ball. |
