“A drive over the marker post should run down the steeply sloping fairway onto a flatter area. An accurate second shot is required, avoiding the heather, but favouring the left side as ground to the right slopes to the boundary, which is close to the playing area towards the green. For the approach there can be up to two clubs’ difference between a front and back pin position, on a green with a pronounced slope from back to front”.
An intimidating tee shot over heather and running alongside of the reservoir, but there is more room than you think to the left and the ball does run to the right. The second shot is generally played with the ball below your feet and with out of bounds to the right it requires a brave, confident swing.
