In the distance is the Holy Island but your concern is to drive to a fairway which lies obliquely to the tee, and lies on a bank beyond a drainage ditch. The green is hidden by a ridge, and unless your ball lies on the extreme left of the fairway, not too far from the green , you face a blind second shot. There are no bunkers on this hole.
