Sands of the Dee: Hole 3
A suberb dog-leg right with a daunting view from the high white tee. The fairway sweeps around two sets of bunkers to catch both short and long hitters. A good tee shot will still leave a demanding approach shot to the well guarded green which has a severe run off at the back. The hole has a stunning back drop over the River Dee.
The hole's name was originally 'Dog Leg' but was changed to epitomise the view from the green.
R.W. said:
"A drive anywhere on the fairway leaves a short shot to a green which tends to slope away at the back and it is easy to go through the green."

Probably the finest playing member at Caldy was Ronnie White who Ben Hogen rated the World's best amateur golfer. Ronnie who dominated the British Amateur Golf and Seniors' scene up to the early eighties, joined Caldy in 1972. He won the Brabazon Trophy twice and the Amateur Championship in 1949. Ronnie was a member of the Walker Cup Team on many occasions, won the Home Internationals 19 times and the British Senior Championship in 1978 and 1979.
Whilst serving on the Green Committee, Ronnie contributed to the re-arrangement of the course after the move to the new clubhouse in 1974. His comments on how to play those holes which still exist from those days are included.
