Pick Your Hole


GolfSpy TCB

Recommended Posts

Watching the practice rounds, and the players warming up on the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, It started me wondering ... So I thought I would pose the question to the forum:

If you could play ONE hole in all the world... what hole would it be?  

Maybe an iconic hole that you have watched on TV over the years, maybe to test your own swing/game agaist what the tour players experience, or even just to see the landscape in person...   

There are so many great options including the island green at Sawgrass that we will watch all week.

There are a few that come to mind

8 @ Pebble Beach

13 @ Augusta

18 @ Pine Valley

13 @ Pine Valley

The last two I’ve had the pleasure of playing 3 times

 

 

 

I was going to say... you have experience with a few of those 🙂.  That is so awesome. 

8 at Pebble is a good choice too!!

For me, it would be the 12th at Augusta.  Remembering Freddie Couples in 1992, miraculously staying on the front bank and making par on his way to the green jacket.  So many others over the years seeing their chances end in the water around that green.  Watching the competitors walking on the Ben Hogan Bridge over Rae's creek.   Yes... that is the hole for me.

How about you???

I suppose you picked #17 at Sawgrass because of memories at #17 here?

That might have had something to do with it... 😄.  Hoping to get back out to Apple Tree sometime this coming summer 🙂

The obvious ones come to mind like #18 at Pebble, #17 at Sawgrass, #13 at Oak Hill (which I was lucky enough to play). but I have to say one that might be off the radar is #4 at Old Head of Kinsale. Par 4 427 with literal danger all down the left side. I had the opportunity to eat lunch at the clubhouse while I was in Ireland last August for a family trip and have been dying to set up a golf trip to go back and play. There's an old rumor that when the fog roles in you drop to your knees and stay there as there have been a few lost souls who walked off the cliffs edge trying to find their way back to the clubhouse.

I’d have to say 13 at Augusta (over #12), just because I’m a par-5 kinda guy.

But honourable mention (and it’s damn near a tie with Augusta) is the Road Hole. I mean, have you ever even been to the Jigger? It’s right there on the hole and it’s a hell of a pub, which I consider to be part of that hole
