Major Risks
Boundary lines and gullies Hole-specific out-of-bounds lines, paths and gullies make careless direction costly. Exposed coastal setting Wind and uneven links-style lies can change carry distances and approach control.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm active blue tee and winter notices before play. Use conservative targets where gravel lines, roads, paths or the practice area define out of bounds. Treat hole 16 as a position-first drive and keep the right-side boundary out of play. Allow for wind and uneven lies when selecting approach clubs. Control direction through the links
