Local Knowledge

This is probably the most straightforward hole on the course with little of concern, other than hitting the green with the second shot. The tee-shot should be played to the right, avoiding the central bunker, because anything to the left will be blocked out by a big green side bunker.

The approach to the green is fast, with the result that second shots have a tendancy to gallop through, leaving tricky chip back onto the unusual saucer-shaped green, believed to have been made with waste material from Bellingham foundry. Its certainly a hole which lower-handicappers harbour strong birdie hopes.
