OUT OF BOUNDS :
None, although try not to blast it into the greenkeeper's toolshed a few yards past the back of the green.
BUNKERS :
There's a tricky relatively deep bunker right in the front of the green. It really adds to the difficulty of this hole. It's not impossible to get out of but it's really in your vision and target from your tee shot.
TREES :
None
TEE SHOT :
You really have to use the wind to create some kind of shot that will try to open up a very tight entrance. The best bet here would be to try to aim it high and land it dead on the putting surface. Otherwise you are trying to take on a very risky shot.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
This is a tricky enough green with a more slopey surface than most on the course. Watch for a few bumps and pay very close attention to each putt. It's a very good green like all the rest and the ball will go where you want it to go so it's again down to your reading of the putt and judgement of pace.
OVERALL TIPS :
Use the elements to your advantage if you can on this short enough hole. Make sure you bring the ball in from a nice height to take the bunker and greenside mounds out of play. A true enough strike should cut through the wind and take a bit of the effect of that off and increase your accuracy. The hole is short enough to take a shot in with a club that has a bit of loft but you don't want to leave too much to mother nature. Once you are on the green then you have to take the extra few seconds over your putt here. There may be a bit more pace on the green also with it being closer to the coast than your previous few holes. A par is a possibility here but you could be in a bit of trouble with a wayward tee shot. It's tricky but one of the easier holes here.
