Tee Shot
The only real trouble is the gorse on the left, but nevertheless you should aim your tee shot to the left half of the fairway to set up the second shot. From this side you avoid playing over the deep greenside bunker to the front right of the green.

Remember that you are never out of bounds if your ball lands on the Old Course (and vice versa).

Approach
From the right hand side you are left with a difficult shot and club selection is vital. Under-club or over-club and both the greenside bunkers will be waiting to punish the misjudgement. From the left side the shot is much easier and it is better to be long than short.
