I'd play each hole in turn, visualising it minutely: the great slopes of the 1st and 7th; the abandoned coastguard station above our broken tidal swimming pool; the 5th a striking short hole, offering a choice between steep clinging gorse banks on the right, and straight ahead slopes and ridges running the ball down towards the rocks and sea - bonnie enough but it's not a fair hole because there is no real golfing solution to the terrain, just trusting to luck or fate. Then again, some problems have no proper solution. Sometimes you have to hit and see, then take it from there.
