 It is q course whore tho player must use his hand, almost as much Rs hls clubs. 1t is shaped like a doubied-up whip, with tho loop bent to tho right. Tn fact the mid. dc section from the eighth to the eleventh holes is known as "The Loop. Most of tho other holes lie side by sido with hugo double greens, somo co yards across. Con- sequently some of tho holes have the same names going out and coming In.

 The chief hazard is the wind, which can spring up with surpris- ing audiences to gale force.
 list Hole. "Burn." 30s yards. Has road to cross with tho drive short of tho Swilken Burn or stream which guards tho green. The burn practically decided the play.oR of last years open cham- pionship between Densmore Shute and Craig Wood.

 And Hole. "Dyke." 4Oi yards. Has whins on the right and "Cheape's" bunker to trap the too- shot. The green, guarded by bun. kers slopes away to the "Wig" bunker which catches shots through the green.
 8rd Hole. "Cartgate." 4B0 yards. Takes It's name from n terrible bunker skirtin ga large green. Be. fore that tho drive has to carry
