    Do you want me to spoil it for you? You've all seen it on TV lately haven't you?

    I can certainly do The Dunes but have not been to Portsea yet. I'm looking forward to seeing that one.

    There's no point "manning up" into a bunker.

    It is a par 5. Let Benno man up all he wants.

    I actually thought this myself when I played it. It was into the breeze and I had no idea how far the carry was. I reckon I only just cleared it and looking back I thought "Where the **** do the shorter hitters play to?"

    Simple answer, you'll have to hit it into the alleyway to the right of the pots. You don't want to be left.

    How blocked out do you get on the right? Can you progress down the fairway a fair bit, but leaving a longish 3rd shot?

    Looks like there is room before the bunkers. Just have to play it as a 3 shotter, and watch all the 'man ups' put it in the sand

    It will probably only be about 180m from the tee of the day. It would take a fairly strong southerly to add to the challenge, which is a possibility on the day.

    There is, but that's a big layup. Without measuring, maybe 160m?

    Not that blocked out, so long as you can hit a cut. A little 10m cut with 3 iron, hybrid or 3 wood should leave you no more than 100-120 out.

    I usually hit a fade, but if I really need that shape, then a pull will make an appearance.

    Guaranteed!

    You should be fine though. Plenty of room on the hole.

    Sigh. This forum is clearly the wrong place to discuss golf architecture, as it lacks intelligence. Especially in certain areas of the country.

    Aiming for a specific area of the fairway just increases your chances of disappointment.

    Or maybe you are trying to overcomplicate things. The landing area is blind but there is more room than you think to hit over and around.
