The 14th hole, Collie Golf Club, from the ladies tee

After the potential horrors of the 13th, the short par three 14th looks like a pussycat, and it often proves to give up birdies.

But it can also add a 6 or 7 to the card!

The Equal Opportunity Commission may argue that the 14th discriminates against the ladies, being 2m longer for ladies than men.

However, the ladies have the advantage of being able to see the green.

The mens' tee, right, offers a blind tee shot over the trees.

Again, a straight tee shot is an absolute requirement.

Bunkers are strategically placed to the left and right of the green.

And when the big tree on the right comes into play, it often leaves an impossible task to get the second on the green. 

Tee shots which overshoot the back to front sloping green also present problems, with a tricky lob from poor lies and bushes onto the downslope requiring the most delicate touch.

Once on the green, the slope from back to front and left to right puts a premium on putting skills.
