The opening holes run gently along the shore with the prevailing wind at your back, the fairways are generous by links standards, and a confident player can be two or three under before the course has shown its teeth. That is the trap. Troon is a links built on a simple, cruel idea: it sends you out with the breeze and brings you home into its teeth, and everything you bank on the way out has to be defended on the way back.</p>
