Unusual golf hole names | Golf Monthly

Spion Kop. Its one of the holes at one of the Perth courses I played in May '89, en-route to Blairgowrie. Each of the holes there was named, another being Skinny Lizzie. Quite what the history is behind them all I don't know.

Although from what I remember of Spion Kop, the hole as it was a par 4 with the green on a small pimple at the top of a hill, named after the hill/battle from the Boer war I guess.
