The decision must be made on the tee as to whether to take on the fairway bunkers with the driver and try to guide the ball through a narrow neck of fairway or to lay up and thereby leave a longer shot into the green. The green is well bunkered and slopes quite significantly from back to front which can make putting tricky.

Caddie’s Tip

“Hitting the fairway with a reasonable length of drive on the slight dogleg assures only a mid to short iron approach to the green.”
