Three up with none to go.

It's kind of like that.

And so...

So what do we know, right?

If we don't know that, when do we start to know stuff?

So there's a guy who I think will go down in history very favorably called James Cheek Strathairn.

Strathairn State still exists.

And there'd been a crazy period in the late 1700s where the town had gone bankrupt and they'd sold the old course, I think to a guy called Thomas Erskine from memory.

And he had decided to farm rabbits.

So for the next 20 odd years, there was a lot of rabbits out there doing a lot of damage to this golf course where people were still trying to play.

So along came James Cheap and he bought the course.

And he made a map of it.

And that map still exists in the RNA habit.

And in order to define what the golfing ground was, he put in the ground boundary markers.

Boundary markers are now known as march stones, and they still exist.

There's one in the middle of the Fifth Fairway, and they're dotted around the place.

There was a ball hit it in the last open, I remember.

It could have, will have happened.

I've seen it happen when I've, certainly when I was caddy.

They're now covered in sort of artificial shields to try and protect them.
