Hole 17

"Few things draw two men together more surely than a
mutual inability to master golf, coupled with an intense
and ever-increasing love of the game" - PG Wodehouse, A Woman Is Only a Woman.

This is the most difficult par three at Mount Lofty, and
rated number four on the card. Many a match has finished abruptly here, thanks to the two strokes given to a high-handicap opponent.

From the back markers, the tee shot requires a long iron or
fairway wood. From the forward markers it will be a mid iron.

A tee shot that misses to the right will be caught by one of the bunkers or roll down the rough-covered slope. A good strategy therefore is to aim the drive well left of the green and allow the slope to carry the ball down onto the putting surface. Behind the green is serious trouble, so beware of over clubbing.
