BUNKERS :
There's 3 bunkers just to the left of the front left portion of the green. These are tricky due to their depth and are very well positioned to catch the stray approach shots.
TREES :
Trees all the way down the right of the hole. There's only a handful down the left but they are huge and the way that they are positioned if you end up left and avoid them they will no doubt be in your way to a certain degree.
TEE SHOT :
This is a lovely driving hole, your on an elevated tee box with a very tight drive. You need a very straight shot here.
APPROACH SHOT :
Assuming your not amongst the branches what you have to look out for here is the slightly blind approach. You will more than likely not be able to see the bunkers that are in front of the green. Keep it to the right. Don't dice with those and don't think about running it up. It won't get there.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
This green is made up of 2 distinct levels. Front left for those who want to take the easier route will give you a massive uphill putt to the top tier. Should you be on the top tier putting to the bottom tier then it's going to be an extremely icey putt.
OVERALL TIPS :
This hole needs accuracy but the main trait you will have to use is awareness. Keep your eyes on the trees on the left hand side. They might not seem as damaging as the wood to the right but they can cause you to have a few shots to get to the green should you find the rough and end up within sight of the trees. Make sure that you have a look where the pin is and make the decision on how to attack the green accordingly. If the pin is in the lower tier it would be better to miss it in the rough than hit the top tier. Stay out of the bunkers as they are a tricky trilogy. All in all a par will be well earned here.
