Hole 8

The hole number 8 is a 286 par 4, played uphill and straight into the prevailing wind. The left side of the hole is out of bounds, and the main feature of the hole is a ridge that crosses the hole 210 yard from the back tees. This feature is quite penal, because a ball that eventually stops there will give a bad lie for the approach. The position of this hazard is quite crucial, during my visit to the site, all the drives that where places in the fairway hit the ridge. Even if the lie for the approach is



bad, the shot is quite short and from there all golfers I saw scored at least a par, because of the short distance to the green(90 yards). On the right side of the fairway, slightly after the ridge it runs an ancient wall, that is covered by coniferous, this feature should, in my opinion enlighten, because could add character to the hole, without trees, the view is open to the Blackford Hill.
