At the Leddy's Ain you realise - perhaps for the first time - the value of the valley that separates the King's

Course from the Queen's Course the Heuch o' Dule. The "Heuch" is situated to the right of the fairway and, being hazardous in the extreme, due to its depth and heathery character and its capacity tor dealing out "dule," it has tor the ball a fascination that is almost uncanny. Hut it is an old and true saying that extremes often meet, and the contrast here is the beauty of the green the Leddy's Ain; the rare, the charming! Nestling among knowes the green is about 8 feet below the level of the tee and about 200 yards distant from it. Its "sculpture" is superb, and Nature appears to have almost surpassed herself in the providing of a locus of such appropriate configuration and pleasing environment. And not the least of its attractions is the delightful foregreen in the form of a veritable sma' glen which, as seen from the tee, is so inviting to the player as to fully justify the pleasing nickname "her winning way." The tee is on a plateau commanding a fairway of closely cropped heather, and while there are bunkers guarding the green to the left for the pulled ball and the Heuch o' Dule hazard on the right for the ball that is sliced, a straight drive will land you on "her winning way," and with a run up and two putts you will hole out to Braid's satisfaction. This is as much as can be reasonably expected, because a bogey four does not allow of much to come and go on, and you have to play very well indeed to get in at that figure. A lesser -core is uncommonly good golf. A powerful player can reach the green with his drive, but the stroke must be dead straight, or serious trouble will certainly result. This is an ideal hole to get a stroke back with a courageous and skilful shot.
