Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 2 Mak Siccar

Turnberry Ailsa Course, 2nd hole Mak Siccar

The 2009 Open Championship:

2nd hole - Mak Siccar, 428 yards, par 4

The second hole is a good solid hole, where it will be key to hit the fairway off the tee. There are a number of bunkers in the driving area that you need to thread it between, although the conservative play is to lay it up short of these bunkers leaving yourself a 150 to 170 yard shot to the pin. As players will be looking for a nice steady start I think they will lay-up with a 3 wood off the tee and then probably hit a 6 iron to the green.
