Morocco Inspired. Yves Saint Laurent celebrated détente with a Russian look: three-quarter-length suede coats bordered in mink, worn over a sum velvet skirt and a printed cossack blouse in crepe de Chine, all topped by a huge matching mink toque. Another Y.S.L. standout was a silk poplin pelisse lined and trimmed in fisher, over a tweed suit with a tweedy patterned crepe de Chine blouse. For evening he had many floating mousselines, including several djellabas that were probably inspired by Saint Laurent's trips to Morocco, where he has a house...
...miniskirts have been condemned as vestiges of the defeated capitalist society. Young men have been pressured to trim their long hair, while girls have been urged to wear "clothes that are simple and not stimulating."

On the drive, you've got to skirt the left-hand traps if you're going to get home in two shots. By hugging the left you can cut at least 25 yds. off your second shot, but it's a dangerous business because of trees on the left, and if you have a hook, forget it. Even with a well-placed drive...
