The skinny: Closing hole can be reached from the tee. Drive is straight on the Royal & Ancient clock. Approach shot must be long enough to carry a swale known as the "Valley of Sin."
Ian Baker-Finch says: Aim at the clock off the tee and avoid the OB down the right. That's fairly easy, since the fairway is 120 yards wide. Most players hit a driver as far as they can, then a wedge to the green. It seems fairly simple, but if you mess up with the approach, you can make 5. There's OB to the back and right, and the Valley of Sin at the front of the green. That's an impossible place to putt from, unless you're Costantino Rocca.
