HOLE GUIDE
TEE SHOT : Not the worst in the world. Nice and wide. If you've a bit of right-itis keep it well left and don't take a chance. A word of warning though, get onto the range before you tear out as if your slightly rusty you could end up in trouble here if your too gung ho.
APPROACH SHOT : It's a tight enough entrance with the two bunkers narrowing the front of the green making it difficult for a run up. The trees that close up the channel to a degree can come into play if your slightly off centre with your tee shot.THE GREEN : Not overly complicated but if you wish to make sure that you're facing an uphill put keep it short of the pin as the green slants from the far side to the fairway side.
OVERALL TIPS : One tactic here, keep it straight. If you keep the concentration it's not the most complicated hole in the world. Concentration is the key word however. Don't go into the hole rusty or you'll be hearing the clink of the ball hitting the road 50 yards right.
OBSTACLES
Out Of Bounds : Down the Right Hand Side off the tee.Keep it straight.
Trees : All the way up both sides. There's a bit of space on the left as the driving is wide enough but there's little room to work with on the right. There's trees at the back of the green and a large group just before the green on both sides.
Bunkers : 2 Greenside Bunkers left & right. They are tricky but far from impossible. They narrow the green through,
