1For me the first is a tricky opening hole, the tee shot is fairly straightforward despite there being trees and out of bounds down the right there is a lot of room left!The second shot is played into a well-protected green with 2 well placed bunkers front left and right so the key for the second shot is to try and take those out of play.2So we are now onto the 2nd, and I have to admit prO-Bably my least favourite tee shot on the course, particularly with the difficult recent winds blowing off of the sea!

It is easy particularly into the wind to come up short on this hole so my suggestion would be to take an ext7An excellent par 3 that depending on teeposition and wind direction can vary from a wedge to a fairway wood! Whilst out on the course last Thursday afternoon I took a couple of videos of my playing partners playing the h8We are now onto hole number 8, another favourite of mine,I love the undulating fairway and sloping green on this hole and despite the fact it is a fairly short hole a par is by no means guaranteed!!I love the undulating fairway and sloping green on this hole and despite the fact it is a fairly short hole a par is by no means guaranteed!!9The 9th Hole at Arbroath, at 373 yards it won’t always play the longest but into a stiff breeze it can be a real test,particularly with the burn meandering its way across the fairway just short ofthe green. Off the tee it’s time to open up the shoulders and try to get one down there as far as possible. Even if you are a little right it isn’t the end of the world, which 10At 407 yards from the Medal tee, the 10th is one of the longer holes,there is just one fairway bunker to contend with and one you definitely want to avoid! The burn is yet again in play on this hole and thedecision is whether to lay up and play as a 3 shot hole or take on the carry to go for the green in 2.11Hole 11 is definitely a hole that you would consider a birdie chance!That being said there are 2 fairway bunkers either side of the fairway which can catch a stray drive and thenthe green is well guarded by 2 bunkers either side suddenly this isn’t sounding like such a birdie chance! The positives, however, are the distance of this hole.12Now onto the 12th, a great short par 4 at 331 yards from the Medal tee!The tee shot on 12 is fairly straightforward the key is to play short of the bunkers and ideally be down the left side to fully open up the green. In total there are 6 bunkers guar13At 412 yards from the medal tee, with out of bounds to the right,a burn crossing the fairway at around 285 yards from the medal tee and then a raisedgreen a 5 here is by no means a disaster. As always the tee shot is important, for the longer hitter the vital thing is to use a club that will finish short of the burn.14Often described as the signature hole here at Arbroath the 14th is prO-Bably the toughest hole to par on the course from the medal tees.At 239 yards from the medal tees and often playing into the wind for many, this green is out of reach in one. I always think how we look at holes such as this in a strange way; if 15We are working our way down the closing stretch and after two really tough holes in 13 and 14, we have a real birdie opportunity at 15. At 355 yards from the Medal tee, the 15th is16Now onto the final par 3 here at Arbroath, at 182 yards from the Medal tee, the wind can make all the difference on this hole. Into the wind I have seen myself hitting 4 iron to ge17We’ve made it to the penultimate hole, 17 an excellent hole for the closing stretch. From the Medal tee, the hole plays 495 yards, which as we have learnt over the past 17 weeks 18And so we step onto the 18th hole, at 407 yards from the Medal Tee this can be a bit of a brute when playing into the wind, or if the wind is hard off the left the out of bounds do
