The sixteenth at first glance seems to be one of the most difficult of Rathsallagh's fine golf holes. Plenty of ditches and well placed bunkers seem a daunting prospect.

The truth of the matter is that two good average shots will see you in good posion to pitch onto the green with a chance of the elusive birdie.

The ideal drive takes you to the centre of the fairway about 230 yards + but not too far to the left as this forces you hit your second too far right to approach the green.

Your second should be played to the centre of the fairway over the second burn leaving you some 80 yards from the front of the green.

From there on in you have a relatively simple pitch and two puts to make to walk off with your Par.

I have made this sound simple, it always is when you write or talk about golf, but by not being intimidated by the hazards on view a 5 here should be the norm.
