Correct club selection is vital as the water and the greenside bunkers must be carried, but a nasty shallow bunker at the back of the green is there to catch those who overshoot the putting surface. A sloping green completes this great-looking short hole.

Having dementia hasn’t stopped my father enjoying life.

• Nursing Care • Dementia Care • Respite Care and Short Breaks

Coming to terms with my father’s dementia was difficult.

I was desperate to find him the best possible care. Then I learnt about the Memory Lane Community at Barchester’s St Thomas'. The specialist staff are truly wonderful.

Thanks to them he can still enjoy some of his favourite hobbies and they treat him with the utmost respect.

Dementia can be a cruel illness but my father’s carers are the kindest people I’ve ever met.
