Pick a Hole

[Slab]

Watching the Phoenix Open this morning and coverage of the 16th thinking I'd love to have a go at that, looks like great craic and I think the anxiety on the teebox would be unbelievable, so:

Just for kicks n' giggles and cos its Friday

You have to pick a single hole somewhere in the world to play under tournament conditions i.e spectators/gallery/TV/FC's, occasion etc

Maybe its the 1st at TOC at The Open, a hole at Augusta, that sawgrass island par3 that everyone goes on about

Which one hole would you pick and why?


edit, oops stuck in OOB in error, could a mod move it to the lounge please

The 17th at Carnoustie. You stand on the tee knowing you need a decent tee shot to get you close enough to to reach the green in two. But then it's a case of just where do you hit it... Straight, or out to the right, or.... It's a beast!

2nd at Royal Dornoch or 4th at Muirfield very similar holes and both very tricky.. as hobbit says the 17th at Carnoustie a beast but the couple of times ive played it its been driver off the tee and still didn't reach... .

[Doon frae Troon]

13th Muirfield.
Very fast hourglass double tiered green.
Six foot deep coffin bunkers on both sides of the pinch point.
Steep hillocks with thick marmon grass surrounding.
Steep,fast, banked approach where the ball will roll back 50 yards.

Only for the brave.

The final hole at Clacton upon Sea Pleasure Park.

Not only can the wind seriously deflect the lightweight, out of true balls but the motor driving the windmill blades will occasionally stick for a second or two, playing havoc with your nerves when you "only" need a two to beat your Aunty Jean for the first time.

12th at Augusta - Sunday afternoon with a one shot lead in The Masters

Either that or Crow's shout sounds just as tough.

If the crowd are there then the 16th at Phoenix, what a buzz. If not then the island hole at Sawgrass. Par 3's do it for me in terms of memorable holes. Great question.

I'm with crow. That sort of pressure can make or break a man.

What an answer, take a bow that man

That's elitist!!!!!!

Oh not, not a nice bog standard NORTHERN course, like Southport's one by the fair. Just a straight up and down hole with nothing but bits of stone down the side, and your classic "lollipop" green complex.

Oh no, it has to be your la-di-da southern one, with special balls and dutch associated architecture.

Pfffttttt.
