Another good par five. I think the shot off the tee is a left-to-right tee shot. I aim at the two sand bunkers on the left-hand side of the fairway and try to work the ball left to right.
There's a few holes out here where a left to right shot off the tee is your best play.
If you're going to miss it off the tee here, miss it left.
One the unique things about this hole is the length of the green, it's very long and narrow and slopes more back to front than you would think.
If you go for it the green in two, you've got to hit a really good golf shot.
If you go for it in two and miss it, you've got a really tough up and down. There's a severe drop off on the right of the green, and a deep bunker on the left side of the green.
It's quite easy to stand in the fairway for you second shot and think you're going to make a four, then walk away with a six and be glad you got it.
This is another green where you don't need a lot of sand bunkers because of the severity of the slope around the green.
When you stand in the fairway for your second shot and see the bunker on the left you think maybe you should bail out a little to the right. Well, you've got about as much trouble over there as you do with the sand on the left.
It's a real gamble to go for this green in two. It requires a great deal of expertise to hit this green in two.
