The 14th is the longest par-4 on the course, measuring at 519 yards and any player would be pleased to walk off the green with a par here.

Off the tee, fairway bunkers, on either side of the fairway, are situated in the landing area most will be hitting into.

The correct side to aim for is the left, because that will give an easier line of attack for the approach to the green which will likely be with a long iron.

That approach to the green is all uphill, and the green slopes from back to front as well. Two bunkers in front of the green make a narrow entry zone.

A golfer for most of his life, Sam is a Senior Staff Writer for Golf Monthly.

Working with golf gear and equipment over the last five years, Sam has quickly built outstanding knowledge and expertise on golf products ranging from drivers, to balls, to shoes.

He also loves to test golf apparel especially if it a piece that can be used just about anywhere!

As a result he has always been the one family and friends come to for buying advice and tips.

He is a graduate of Swansea University where he studied History and American Studies, and he has been a part of the Golf Monthly team since December 2017. He also previously worked for World Soccer and Rugby World magazines.

Sam now spends most of his time testing and looking after golf gear content for the website. He also oversees all Tour player content as well.

Unfortunately, Sam is not a member of any club at the moment but regularly gets out on the golf course to keep up the facade of having a handicap of five.
