1 - The Short Hole (146 yards - Par 3) |
 Most
of the players played a cleek to this hole as the ground was usually
dry and hard in this area and the best results were usually achieved
with a running type of shot. The green was situated on a plateau
and an accurate shot was required to finish on the putting surface. |
