Hole 18, Tom Morris 357 yards Par 4
Another hole that can be driven if the wind is right, but for shots coming up short there will be a big decision to make for your second shot. The deep Valley of Sin at the front of the green can cause havoc and spoil some good scores so a par here is no bag thing. A chip-and-run will often be the sensible choice as opposed to a wedge where unwanted spin brings the Valley of Sin into play.
