Legend has it that Archie used to pop over the fence to oversee the design during his lunch breaks. Like so many courses of that time James Braid revised the design.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2006 the course underwent further improvements and the length increased to 6,500-yards. The professionals this week should \u2013 if the wind doesn\u2019t blow a gale \u2013 have a bit of a birdie fest as long as they don\u2019t try to over power the track.<\/p>\n<p>The course is located on a classic stretch of links land with huge sand dunes, rolling fairways, burns and heather and some stunning views from some of the elevated tees. The greens are designed so they sit like raised tables amongst the dunes and there are pot bunkers waiting for those miss hit shots into the them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4099\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/07\/Alejandro_Canizares-Cyrille-Bertin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4099\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4099\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/07\/Alejandro_Canizares-Cyrille-Bertin.png\" alt=\"Alejandro Canizares 66\/1 \u00a9 Cyrille Bertin\" width=\"400\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/07\/Alejandro_Canizares-Cyrille-Bertin.png 400w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2015\/07\/Alejandro_Canizares-Cyrille-Bertin-238x300.png 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alejandro Canizares 66\/1 \u00a9 Cyrille Bertin<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are many strong holes here especially among the dunes. The 7th is considered to be the courses signature hole, named \u201cSerpentine\u201d and you can see why when you stand on the back tee and soak up that panoramic view across the North Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the four groups and Match play format this week, I have tried to choose a player who I think will win the event. There is also an outside tip from each group that I feel could cause an upset or two. But as you will see there is one group with two players who I feel can both win the tournament and would normally feature in my tips to win section.
