The drive needs to be visualised preferably as a fade to take you around the right hand semi dog-leg of the fairway. Ideally a driver would get you 240 yards off the yellow tees leaving you 230 yards to the pin. Longer hitters will take the 2nd shot on, onto the green as the rewards are great but the penalties for a miscue are huge with the bunkers and copse protecting the green well. If you choose to lay up you need to stay clear of the tree on the left hand side of the fairway and make the decision to go over the ditch or lay up in front of it. Finally the third shot needs to be thought about. Have I got a club which will give me some backspin on the ball or is it going to run through the green if I hit it long? All of these decisions are thought about by a professional on the tee. They will have an exact idea of how this hole is to be played, shot by shot, yard by yard. The hole is short enough to take a 3 iron off the tee for safety and a slightly longer club to lay up if you do not intend to go for the green in 2.

Think about all decisions that face you on the course and take time to assess each shot fully and carefully.

Ask yourself 'Do I attempt to drive over the dog-leg and hope for position, or do I play safe and lay up short of the tree on the left hand side of the fairway?' Make your decision and then visualise every shot.
