Hole 7
(Next) (Previous)

"I have noticed, and I suppose other people have noticed, that in the golf education of every man there is a definite point at which he may be said to have crossed the dividing line - the Rubicon, as it were - that separates the golfer from the non-golfer. This moment comes immediately after his first good drive" - PG Wodehouse, A Mixed Threesome.

To score well here requires a good drive. This is a blind tee shot over a slight hill to a fairway that slopes from right to left. Aim for the right hand side of the fairway as a drive on this line will roll left down the slope and hopefully finish in the centre of the fairway.

A drive played down the middle of the fairway will probably finish off the left-hand side of the fairway, where trees will block the long approach to the green. If your drive leaves you with a fairway wood or long iron to the green, and probably a downhill lie, it may pay to treat this hole as a par five.

Lay up with your second well short of the two bunkers that guard the approach to the green. The left-hand bunker is a difficult 30 metres short of the green.
