#7 played really long in march! I actually played the hole with Tom in a five-some and was the only person to hit the green after nearly pulling my tee shot into the gorse. At the time there were no markers out on the course, are there were 3 of us all in the same spot… If my memory is correct, two us hit 7-iron (including tom) because it didn’t look like we were very far, but my 5-iron was the only ball that found the green... and made par!
This hole is going to play extremely difficult for anyone with a fade/slice, especially when you are playing into the wind, because everything short or right will come all the way back down to the fairway, that is if it doesn’t get caught in the bunkers!
#7 was one of my favorite holes we played that day! The second shot is the key to the hole, and proper club selection can make all the difference. You have to remember that when you are standing of your drive deciding what club to hit for your approach you might feel the wind there, but once the ball gets up in the air, above the green, the wind is going to be blowing even harder since its not blocked out by the huge cliff you are about to hit to. But whether you make a birdie or a double bogey, once you are up on the green and get a glimpse of the view all is forgotten, because it is simply spectacular!
