Hole 7
Distance 206m
Par 3
Stroke 17
Most will abandon any pretence of aiming for the flag and happily settle for the safety of the green. Surrounded by a horseshoe of sand and partly hidden from the tee, a finish on the putting surface is achievement enough.
The green has two distinct portions separated by a ridge, and to get the tee shot all the way to a back-left pin position requires a long iron even for the longer hitters. Although a front-right placement looks more inviting from the tee, it brings more bunkering on the right into play. I very seldom see anybody go past the pin on their tee shot. It is much more uphill than you think.Gary Player
