EIGHTH

Mens Par 5 Ladies Par 5

Care needs to be taken with the tee shot on this hole as the public right of way to Holme beach crosses the fairway some two hundred and fifty yards out. The road is raised and can be seen from the tee. The deep ditches on either side cannot! It is probably safest to lay up but downwind big hitters can clear the road and leave themselves a short iron approach.

The raised green is small, as befits a short par five and has a nasty swale to the front right. Each year the greenkeeper, Jimmy Read, exacts his revenge and positions the flag just above this swale. For one day only all eighteen greens get the same treatment. No prizes for guessing where the pin goes on the sixth!
