The
Hole:
Woodmore Lake is decision time. With
another stream at 197 yards, do you lay up short (between the stream and the
lake), or do you grip it and rip it to leave a wedge to the contoured green? If
you go for the carry, it demands a straight drive, otherwise the steep wooded
slope on the right of the fairway, or the raised back to the left could gobble
up your ball.
Pro's Advice:
A demanding tee shot visually but a dead
straight, well struck drive should reap rewards. Watch out for the green
though, the borrows can be tricky.
Member's
Advice:
One of the toughest holes on the course, but one that rewards the
brave. Take a wood off the tee and you can clear the lateral water hazard,
which leaves a very short iron to the concave green Alternatively you can lay
up off the tee with an iron. Get it wrong however, and danger lurks on all
sides. A wooded slope to the right usually fails to give up stray balls, while
a pond in front of the lay up area, the stream at 190 yards and the slope down
to the 13th fairway to the left all add to the decision making process as you
stand on the elevated tee.
For the Ladies:
Decision time off the tee; do you
play short of the ditch with a short iron or do you go for it and try and carry
the ditch?? The carry is only around 110 yards, so for most average ladies it
shouldn't be a problem. But it is!! There are probably more duffed tee shots on
this hole than anywhere else. For the longer hitters there is no real advantage
taking the driver, a long iron or 5 wood will put you in position for a short
shot to the green.
