9th -Within 40 yards of the tee the ground becomes bumpy and covered in rough, heather and whin, beyond which lie the twin Kruger bunkers, requiring a carry of less than 100 yards. Well left, and perhaps 60 yards futher on, Mrs Kruger is set in a stretch of heather which runs almost to the green. Outside that stretch, banks of whin await any badly pulled shots. The Kruger bunkers date from the Boer War.
The heather down the left at both the ninth and the tenth can produce very tough recovery shots. In sight down the ninth fairway are two small 'hip-bath' bunkers: Boase's and then the End Hole bunker. Another little-used one is placed at the near left-hand corner of the green.
The line is either right or left of the two fairway bunkers, and your choice will always leave a featureless second to the green - the one such shot on the course. Probably because there is nothing to concentrate on, there are many fives here.
