Eighteenth Hole

Basically, it is a shortish par three from a raised tee box with a clear view of the green. Perhaps that is where the problem begins!

From the tee the first thing you notice is the three bunkers carefully sited to make sure that you cannot pitch short and roll on. Then you may notice that the flag is flying in a strong wind and decide that you will hit the ball left and fade it onto the green or hit it right and draw it on.

Then you notice the very high trees to your right and the woodland protecting the green on its left. So, in the end, you hit it too hard and too high and your ball goes wherever the wind takes it!

Once you are on the green there are borrows in all directions, depending upon flag placement, so your best bet is to get in close and hope for a gimme!
