The Heather Bell, with its plateau green on the horizon approached by the long and wide fairway, running through heath and heather on a uniformly ascending gradient, is very attractive as viewed from the tee. "Greens sae grassy i' the heather muirs" well describes the tout ensemble. The green is on an eminence at the summit of the gradually rising ground 400 yards away from the tee and about 33 feet above it. The hazards are skilfully placed. They look simple, but they are not to be despised. An open ditch all the way on the right - between the fairway and the muir - also banks of gorse and grass on the left give warning to players to keep 011 "the pretty" - for so this fine fairway may be termed. Then again the knolls in the middle near the starting point meant to be played over, and the bunkers further ahead on the right, placed to trap the sliced ball.

With two more on the line of play in front of the green, to give interest to the approach shot, are all suggestive of the restraining hand that is characteristic of Colonel Bogey.

Hut Braid says, "Broad is the way, play with abandon, you're as free as the wind." Delightful advice you will say, and, when you see the spot, you will doubtless endeavour to follow it. Played on the true line, a long drive and a good brassie shot should place the ball satisfactorily at the summit, and with a pitch on to the plateau, two putts will enable you to cry quits with the "Colonel."
