5th -Down the right, the last of them 250 yards from the tee, lies a group of seven bunkers, on the straight route to the hole and catching many drives. The line is to the left; a hill running out from the Elysian Fields is the aiming point. A really good drive comes close to a march or boundary stone. Ahead lies a long bank with a bunker at each end. Most players cannot reach the top of that bank in two to get a good view of the green, which slopes away at first, guarded by a deep, wide gully in front. From further back it is often safer to take one club more and be sure of clearing the gully. The green which the fifth shares with the thirteenth, beyond it, is the largest on the course. 13th -This, like the second and fourth, is a very fine two-shot hole.
A driver a little left of the nearby whins will keep the ball away from the coffins, three very strategically placed bunkers further left, with are preceded by Nick's one - it swallows duck-hooks. Beyond the coffins is a long high ridge at the left end of which are two nasty little pots: the cat's Trap, left of Walkinshaw's Grave.
The drawback about taking this right-hand line is that the ridge blocks out any good view of the green and its approaches. Longer hitters are rewarded by playing left of the coffins, but it can be inconvenient for those playing the sixth. Shorter drivers benefit from a second to the right where there is plenty of room, leaving an easy pitch to the green.
