The Wee Bogle is the shortest hole on the course. It would he a terrible mistake to think it the easiest. It is a truly sporting shot from the tee. There are bunkers to right, bunkers to left, and bunkers in front all by way of making plain the accepted truth that troubles never come singly. The green is 125 yards distant from the tee and 6 feet higher. It is just a plateau green in a sharp depression in the Hielan' Line. Clear the honeycomb of bunkers and you are all right, but fail and ! You may discover that a temporary melancholy has marked you for its own. A skilful mashie pitch lands you safely on the green.

Wee Bogle . 16TH Hole. 125 yards.

Examination of the plan will convince you that the shot must be played correctly; there is no room for a run-up. You must pitch. Otherwise a ball on the true line escaping the bunkers but having impetus is hound to reach the grassy slope behind the green and quickly roll to trouble "down among the dead men." Hut on the green in one should ensure the bogey three. By many players the Wee Bogle is regarded as one of the most difficult holes on the course. Some of the "talent " even say it is unfair.

But why? The b u n k e r s b e i n g within sight of the tee can be taken seriously - they need not be trilled with.

And although the depression at the back of the green cannot possibly be seen from the tee, it is known to be t h e r e, a n d t h e restraint that attaches to skill will a1wavs be rewarded.
