PRACTICE

The putting green is rather small and well guarded. It is next to impossible on account of a diagonal sand trap immediately in front of the green to get on in 2. The usual way is to place the second as ad vantageously as possible for the approach. It is fairly interesting as long holes go. The player should not have a great deal of difficulty in getting par 5 at this hole.
