Fortified by an Italian meal in an empty but acceptable restaurant the boys re-group at Letham Grange once made famous by "a round with Allis" but now fallen on hard times. Whilst the clubhouse may be in need of a bit of TLC, the course appears in excellent nick. The manager describes it as a "brute" and news that the Muffins are booked in for 36 holes is met with general astonishment and derision by all the locals. (They clearly have no idea of the reserves of mental fortitude and physical conditioning the Muffins are able to draw on - but Tate immediately reaches for the buggy keys).

After an opening few holes that are straigthforward, things close in with narrow fairways, lots of water, stone walls and houses - but it's all very pretty if a tough walk.
