The seventeenth hole

The seventeenth, for many, is Richmond’s signature hole. It’s a right angled dogleg from left to right. The landing zone for tee shots is heavily bunkered, and only the very brave will attempt to cut the corner over trees to get up in two. For most, the plan is safety first off the tee, followed by a lay up to the ditch that crosses the fairway around 130 yards out, and then a precise third into the elevated and undulating green
