The East Neuk is to many players a favourite of the course.

It has been spoken of as having the qualities that attach to the best holes on the leading seaside courses with the added attraction of an individuality exclusively its own. The green is blind from the ordinary tee but magnificently in view from the advanced tee. It should be noted that the ground falls towards the green which lies at a level about 63 feet below the tee. In driving off you will do well to take the short cut to the green by hugging the Gowden Knowes to the left of the fairway, as there is a transverse fall of the ground from left to right which, if the drive is long, proves helpful. With the wind against you, an advantage may be gained by placing the tee shot a little to the right, otherwise you may have to play a blind second, which is undesirable with the green so closely bunkered. Also you must be up. Ninety per cent. is the reckoning of second shots that arc short at this hole. A good jigger, or iron shot, should put the ball well on the green, if the bunker to the left and the three to the right which guard it so well are properly respected. An overstrong shot may land you in difficulties behind the green, a danger which has to be specially kept in view. Braid is of opinion that two putts should be sufficient, and that more would be a superfluity.
