Corner of the Dyke
A scattering of well-placed bunkers makes the tee-shot a perplexing prospect here. “The Principal’s Nose” grouping of traps is the most obvious threat, but perhaps more fiendish is the tiny “Deacon Sime” pot bunker some 20 yards beyond. Just a couple of yards wide, it’s completely hidden from the tee.
Players may choose to lay up short of the lot but that will leave a long second with out-of-bounds perilously close on the right side. One option is to play well left into the rough between the fairway and the third hole, but it’s then up to the golfing gods what sort of lie is found. The brave will blast down the right side of the fairway ignoring the white stakes.
The approach must carry all the way, as anything short will fall back off the front edge.
