                                                                when playing with the southerly wind.

                                                                reduces the extent of error. The slice

                                                                proposed along this entire frontage
                                                                thus creating a vegetative buffer from
                                                                golf shots whilst maintaining views

                                                                modify the bunker left of the green

                                                                drifting towards the new real estate.


12th hole – lots 17 to 19 front the left side of the tee shot

The lots start some 90m from the championship tee and
are a minimum 32m from the line of play (shown right).
Existing vegetation extends from the development
boundary towards the tee and the line of play making it
almost impossible for anything other than a fluke golf
shot to enter these properties. Additionally the slice and
prevailing wind will push shots away from this housing.




                                   Hole 17 – lots 8 to 13 to the rear and right of the green

                                   This situation is eminently safe as we have more than
                                   adequate clearance, housing has the benefit of greater
                                   elevation above the fairway and green, additional protection is
                                   afforded by significant existing bunkering as well as existing
                                   and supplementary vegetation to the property line (shown
