Turnberry Ailsa Course: Hole 8 Goat Fell
Double Open champion Padraig Harrington gives us his personal hole-by-hole course guide for the 2009 Open Championship venue at Turnberry Ailsa Course, where he will be bidding for a third straight Claret Jug.
The 2009 Open Championship:
8th hole – Goat Fell, 454 yards, par 4
The eighth hole is a straight forward par 4, where players will need to try to avoid the bunkers down the right hand side, although as the ball can kick generously away from these bunkers at times it is certainly a hole where you will see guys hitting their driver. There is a tier in the green so players will look to play to the right position on the green but I believe this, even though it is a long hole, would be one where players will be hoping for birdies.
