The bunker to the right of the fairway is very difficult to avoid whilst the second shot will have to be played with either a long iron or a fairway wood.

When the golfers get to the green it does not get that much easier.

Be careful to note that a lot of putts will go astray because of the difficult greens.

The organisers may look to take back some of the shots the golfers will have earned through the adjustable pin which can be put in a number of tricky positions.
