THE MIDDLE PERIOD
10th Hole 160 yards (13). Over fairly level ground, requiring an accurate tee shot to find a well guarded green.
11th Hole 430 yards (14). A dog-legged hole, requiring two good shots to reach a raised green well bunkered.
12th Hole 440 yards (15). A short carry over cross bunker from the tee. Rather a narrow fairway with broken ground and bracken on either side and bunkered at intervals on right. Tis hole required to be well played for a good 5.
13th Hole 220 yards. Over ground sloping to the right, green guarded leſt and right by deep pot bunkers, necessitating an accurate tee shot to reach the green.
14th Hole 500 yards (18). With carry over cross bunker from tee and guarded on right with wing bunker, a sliced tee shot finding the out-of-bounds. Quite an interesting long hole and a good bogey 5.
15th Hole 260 yards (1). Long carry from tee over high cross bunkers. Out-of -bounds on the right, finishing with a well-bunkered green.
16th Hole 120 yards (2). Tis is an excellent short hole bringing out a player’s qualities with a mashie. An accurate shot is rewarded every time but there is much trouble to trap an indifferent shot, the hole being surrounded by rocks and pot bunkers.
17th Hole 390 yards (3). Ground rises from the tee requiring two good shots to reach a well-guarded green.
18th Hole 460 yards (4). Tee shot to carry valley bedded with gorse. Te fairway being guarded on the leſt by a pond and on the right by broken ground and gorse. Te green is large and undulating and is well guarded on both sides a pond on the right proving the downfall of a player who slices.
In March 1922 the Royal and Ancient fixed the standard scratch of Long Ashton
Golf Club at 7 4. All the holes had names at this time according to Ron Kingston and Tom Barnes. Te first four were called “Buttercliffe” (named aſter the farm) the second was “Plantation” (the present 5th) the third was “Ridge” (now the 6th) and the fourth “Providence” and so on.
CLUBHOUSE EXTENSION Te Clubhouse (later called Pinecroſt) was extended in 1921 at a cost
of £106 and again in 1925 at a cost of £400. Plates 8 and 9 show the extended Clubhouse and the card room (lounge) about 1930. Tese improvements were agreed by members aſter plans had been submitted for inspection. Te alterations particularly to the changing rooms and kitchen were built by Cowlins. Sir Francis Cowlin, a very active golfer, was later made an Honorary Life Member. Cowlins
