Hole Number Nine - "The Elbow" - This is a left hand dogleg around the farmyard and buildings. Once again the drive is critical, the long hitter will aim over the corner of the buildings and expect to have a short iron shot to the green, but if too short will, if not out of bounds, have to play a shot off a steep slope, if too long his line could be obstructed by tall trees. The average golfer will play around the dogleg and will then have a longer approach shot to the green off a fairly level stance. The approach to the green is narrow so accuracy is required.
