All is rough and bushes for the first 80 yards at the end of which is a deep, steep-faced bunker.
Like many on the modern outward half it has never been named. Most of the famous ones - Cheape's, Road,
Principal's Nose, Hill, Hell, Coffins and so on - date back to before about 1835 when a single pin on a small green
was the target, both out and back. The present outward half was a wilderness of rough, weeds and whin.
There is trouble at both sides at this hole. Go too far left and the nearest bunker of the Principal's Nose group is waiting.
If you escape that, the Cartgate bunker eats into the third green on its left, providing a very testing shot.
Go down the right and a line of three little pot bunkers are in play, as, on this line are two others up by the green.
It is best to aim from the tee a little to the right of the nameless bunker. 15th -
The very wide cottage bunker lies about 150 yards from the tee on the left, and catches many pulled drives. About 20 yards beyond that there is Sutherland's little pot. Between the cottage bunker and the right rough, two small mounds known s "Miss Grainger's Bosoms" probably gave the best line before the Haskell ball from 1902 onwards made this hole a two-shotter. To the right of these mounds blind many second shots. There is just clear of the Cottage bunker, and nowadays the three pots 90 yards from the green are no threat to the second shot. A bunker on the left edge, a little hump on the right, and the Cartgate bunker at the back are the problems. The second shot is often longer than it looks.
