The index 1 is a real knee trembler of a drive with tall trees lining the fairway and out of bounds on the right.

Some space exists to the left after approx 150 mtrs but anything else off line will be punished. Your troubles are not over yet, the second shot calls for a long iron or fairway wood and a tree strategically placed in the middle of the fairway must be dealt with before reaching the green.

A single bunker on the front left guards the green but banking all around causes their own problems. Behind the green drops off into rough leaving a difficult target at the best of times. Again the slope is from back to front but the subtle undulation on the green means the difficulty does not stop when you get to the short stuff.
