Plugged balls on the first fairway are the devil; the rifle butts on the third with their concrete fix- tures can make the ball jump in any direction; the rocks which sur round the short fourth do all sarts strange things ton ball, and pushed or sleed shots on the blind sixth and seventh holes are two more bit worries.
