This hole is well named, especially as one gets older. The drive is uphill to a wide fairway with two bunkers on the left, which is the side to favour and thick rough on the right, which may appear the shorter line. A blind second shot, for most golfers to the green with trees to the left and bunkers both right and left. A small copse of trees some 15 yards through the green can be a severe penalty.

“As this hole is severely uphill for the first 250 yards and normally against the prevailing wind a long tee-shot is required, preferably to the left side of the fairway. The second shot plays longer than it looks, so take an extra club.”
