This hole must have been quite fearsome in the days when the tee was sited where the eighteenth green is now. The carry over the huge bunker is not so formidable with modern balls and equipment as it was then. Nevertheless, a good shot is still required and those of a nervous disposition are best advised to avoid teeing off soon after the last competitors in the Shotgun Foursomes have arrived back at the clubhouse. On this particular Sunday morning the balcony of the clubhouse overlooking the first tee is occupied by members whose teasing gaze and extravagant cries of "shush" are sufficient to make the most impervious soul wish he had gone to church instead. The green can, of course, be driven under the right conditions. The second shot needs to be held up to the left as the green falls away towards the river Hun on the right.
