Although not the
longest hole, this par 4 is rated as stroke index 1.
The drive is semi blind
with a small hedge obscuring the view. The fairway
is ridge and furrow and tends to throw the ball to the
right where trees await along the length of the fairway.
Having successfully
negotiated the tee shot, the player is faced with an
awkward lie and an uphill shot to a raised green which
is extremely narrow for two-thirds of it's length. Additionally, anything that
pitches right will always bounce towards a small group
of conifer trees. Take a club more than you normally
would to ensure you find the back portion of the green.
The pin is at it's
most difficult to find when it is tucked away behind the
left-hand side trap. Gratefully accept your par
and move swiftly on.
Pro's Tip: A
good drive down the right centre of the fairway sets up
the best angle into this very narrow two-tier green. |
