Can anyone post Dr Mackenzie's graphic with the four routes played by players A, B, C and D? This to me is one of the most charming things about the Old Course, the multiple routes that can be chosen by the canny player, perhaps in concert with an experienced caddy.
I have always (in six goes at the hole) liked the route where you drive out to the right of the Beardies and then play well out to the left toward the fifth fairway. On the graphic posted on the Strokesaver, this takes you over near the 95 yard sprinkler head, left of Hell and short of the gorse. The Kitchen bunker (short of Hell at the 142 yard sprinkler) is a threat. Once safely there at the 95 yard spot, it's a pretty simple pitch and run shot over the Grave bunker onto the green for a birdie putt.
Of course there are dozens of wrinkles in the ground contours that can steer you into trouble, all along the way. This remains my personal favorite hole on the Old Course, it's always an exercise in how best to get the ball in the hole!
