Examination of the plan of the Broomy Law will immediately suggest a hole that is full of wonderful interest and beauty, and the playing of it will happily enhance that impression. The fairway is a delightful expanse oF ideal golting country. It is in the form of an ascending valley

Broomy Law • 4th hole • 440 yards •

between two ridges, and is one of those which, in connection with the exhibition game or tournament, suggests a natural amphitheatre. There are hunkers to the right and the left, and the crest of the Broomy Law dominates the landscape. It is a long hole, not the longest on the course, hut 440 yards of good going. Braid is of opinion that it it is played properly you may gain a stroke under bogey which is scheduled at six. A lout,' straight drive is required to pass the double hunker about 150 yards from the tee. This hunker seems to trouble a good many players, and is the subject of much criticism because of its location and distance from the tee. It is comforting to not5 that if you diverge from the straight, the semi-rough extends will up the slope on each side of the valley. There are, however, eight hunkers to be avoided, seven on the fairway and one guarding the green to the right. It the wind he against you keep to the left with your drive from the tee, and follow with a brassie shot which must he straight to escape being penalised. A short pitch should then find the green. The approach is a little narrow on a rising slope with a "rough" hollow on the left and a hunker and ridge to the right. The pronounced rise near the green has been known to disconcert players, hut adroit handling of the club and sound judgment will successfully serve you. Having reached the green, which, by the way, is 40 feet higher than the tee Braid grants the indulgence of two putts.

Just a final word to encourage carefulness. Beware of pulling your second. There is some rough country on the left.
