Strahan compares the very important tee shot aspect at hole 9 with the correct use of hair care products. Give it too much and you could be looking silly - not enough and you just won't be getting the benefits. It's certainly a toughie (especially off the back) and with the added difficulty of overhead obstacles. For lefties with a fade this hole is not good news. But then again for righties with a hook problem its not very good either. "My advise is whatever you do stay out of the trees, your second shot will be long enough in itself. A good test of golf and suitably ranked in the 5 hardest holes of the course. Just a shame I can't play it to save myself". Take note all budding 2004 club champs contenders.

A straight drive is in order on the ninth for a good finish to the front nine. 2003 club champ Tony Simpson hit this one perfectly.

General Manager Steve Hackett putts for birdie on the 9th green. It doesn't yield a lot so if you get one feel good about it.
