St Andrews Dukes - Course Guide - Hole 10

The Dukes - Hole 10 

Burn Brig

Par - 4

Men - 369
Women - 299
Stroke index - 5

Pro Tip - A conservative length tee shot with a line to the left edge on the distant bunker from the tee is perfect on this sharp dogleg left par 4. Aggressive long tee shots will end up dangerously close to a burn that is not visible from the tee while the airway slopes towards the water hazard.

Approach this elevated green from the right to avoid a deep greenside bunker left.

St Andrews Dukes - Course Guide - Hole 9

The Dukes -Hole 9 

Craigtoun

Par - 4

 Pro Tip - The right side of centre should be favoured from the tee, as the fairway slopes to the left allowing you a flat lie to face your approach to this well guarded and elevated green

 .
Accurate approaches are vitally important as severe side swales will leave a very tricky recovery to the narrow green.

St Andrews Dukes - Course Guide - Hole 8

Dukes Course -Hole 8 

Fair Dunt

Par - 3

Men - 152
Women - 121
Stroke index - 16

Pro Tip - Aptly named as a strong stroke is required to reach this testing up-hill par 3. Best advice here is to take at least one club more than the yardage.

Leaving yourself an uphill putt is vitally important as anything long or to the sides leaves you with a very delicate shot.

The Dukes - Hole 7 

Denbrae

Par - 4

Men - 406
Women - 337
Stroke index - 8

Pro Tip - A fantastic par 4 with spectacular views, while playing from the elevated teas allows you to see the complete hole. An aggressive line just to the left of the large double sided fairway bunker on the right puts you in to the perfect position to the approach the green. 

A low run-up approach often rewards you by helping get the ball to the hole.

St Andrews Dukes - Course Guide - Hole 6

Hole 6 

Badgers

Par - 5

Men - 489
Women - 406
Stroke index - 4

Pro Tip - The views to the west and north can be distracting. From these elevated tees a well placed downhill tee shot must be right of centre on this right to left sloping fairway.

The second half of this fairway and green are both heavily guarded by bunkers, the three shot option on this hole is the wise plan to set up a birdie attempt.

The good thing about this Par 5 is that its normally downwind!

Roger Hurcombe (pegleg) & Ian

 Ians story

Where do you start with a golfing legend? He was born on the 24th of April 1958 and graduated from Wigan Grammar School in 1975, he also graduated from Lancaster University in 2002. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke in 2006 and was left severely disabled as well as being told that he was unlikely to ever play golf again. Prior to his stroke Ian was an avid golfer and had enjoyed many golfing trips to the Costas, Tenerife, Tunisia, and South Africa. However, this did not stop Ian and he starting using golf for therapeutic means and, in an outstanding turn of events, in the space of 3 years has had his own golfing travel book published entitled "The Social Golfer", with all profits going to The Stroke Association.

So far The Social Golfer has raised over £20,000 for The Stroke Association, and has just been added to Amazon and WHSmith’s online stock. 

The Social Golfer is also a website and a blog.

Living The Dream

Ian has penned a second book which is set to be released later this year which Ian says is "much more than a golf book, a travelers Almanac as well." All the profits again going to The Stroke Association. The Uk Book Launch will be at The British Par 3 August 2012 and the USA Launch at the Florida Disabilities Open 13th October 2012. It is expected to retail at £19.99 ($29.99) which includes postage and packaging. If you wish to read more about the upcoming book then you can read more at Ian's blog here.

Ian has also sponsored 3 separate week breaks (3 prizes) at his Orlando, Florida Villa as a prize for the Facebook Community Golf Open!
