matt_puttercup Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 The limits of time and space are relaxed long enough for you to play one, and only one, hole at Augusta. Which one are you playing? I'm going to go with 16, hoping for the accessible pin and my best chance at making an ace!

cksurfdude Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Why... The 19th, of course! haha not sure the hole # but one that's always intrigued me is the one that doglegs left - where some people end up in the pines / pine straw - then goes downhill and across a section of the creek to that very sloped green.

bens197 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I’ve always been fond of 11. I love that hole especially after they stretched the tees back. There are so many great ones namely the par 5’s but 11 is the one I’d choose. cksurfdude, matt_puttercup, GolfSpy_SHARK and 3 others 6 Quote PING G400 LST Mitsubishi Tensei White 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 L.A.B.

Golf2Much Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I've been lucky enough to play two of the replica courses that have Amen Corner (Tour 18 in Houston and World Golf Links in Myrtle Beach). Given we've seen more of the back nine than the front over the years. 11 is tough driving out of a narrow tree lined fairway and having every funnel to the water. You sit on the 12th tee box and the first thing I thought was where do I bail out as the green looks so narrow. I'd have to say 13 would be the hole. It's a great driving hole (especially if your right handed and hook). It has the down sloping fairway. The risk versus reward on your second shot is incredible. If you choose to lay up Infront of Rae's Creek, it's a tough pitch to an unforgiving green. I think 13 has all the elements. matt_puttercup, buckpillar, GolfSpy_SHARK and 3 others 6 Quote Ping G430 Max driver 10.5 degrees with an Alta Quick45 gram senior shaft Callaway Epic 3 wood, Project X Evenflow Green 45 gram senior shaft Callaway GBB Epic Heavenwood, with a Mitsubishi Diamana 50 gram senior shaft Ping G 20.5 degree 7 wood, with a stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Ping G 26 degree hybrid, stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Callaway Paradym X irons, 7-AW with Aldila Ascent Blue 50 graphite shafts Edison wedges: 50, 55 and 60 degree, KBS Tour Graphite A flex shafts Putters: L.A.B.

BringerofRain Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I think I would have to go for hole 12. While I would love the opportunity to hit driver the opportunity for a hole in one at Augusta is to tempting to pass up. cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, matt_puttercup and 2 others 5 Quote Everyone stinks, yes even the pros.

Phil_Elms Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) For me, it would be 18. Chance to close out a round where so many pros have had legendary finishes to win the tournament. Obviously there are many other iconic holes, but it’s 18 for me. Now the post didn’t ask what I’d shoot.. but I’ll answer that too. I think conservative fade off the tee.. probably 270 for me. Left with another 190ish in… probably playing 205 with the hill, I’m hitting a light 4hybrid to the middle of the green… and then most likely 4 putting Edited April 10 by Phil_Elms matt_puttercup, GolfSpy_SHARK, tdroma98 and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment
G-Ram Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Initially I was going to say 13, but after having been there for a practice round last year, and seeing where they tee off on 18, and the chute they have to navigate, it would have to feel like hitting the green on 12, so give me 18 and that pressure packed tee shot! tdroma98, cksurfdude, buckpillar and 3 others 6 Quote we got a pool and a pond... the pond would be good for you Link to comment

RHB75 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 The 13th of course. Its the last hole of Amen Corner and every shot presents its own challenge. It demands a draw off the tee. You need to pick your shot with a very challenging approach shot into the green. And once your on the green your work just began. cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, EasyPutter and 4 others 7 Quote Roger Beusch Link to comment

CFerland3 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Man, brutal hypothetical. With only 1 to play I think you have to go for a par 5 for a few reasons. First, you would get to hit a variety of shots. While the par 3's are equally iconic you only get 1 full swing shot (unless of course you rinse one on 12 or 16 which is somewhat likely). Next, the par 5's on the back nine offer some of the most exciting moments in Masters history. I think 13 would have to get the call for me. A more realistic chance to reach in 2 and one of the most picturesque on the course.

GolfSpy_BOS Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's #13 and it's not even close. I feel like this hole has a little bit of all the best parts of Augusta in it. The sloping fairway, the risk/reward second shot, that creek in front of the green, and a green that allows for some long and bendy putts but overall doesn't seem too unfair. I can't think of a better way to get the most of our my Augusta experience than playing #13 if I can only play one. That being said... if there's no stroke limit, I'll just "miss" into the next fairway quite a few times and see how much of the course I can see! tdroma98, GolfSpy_SHARK, EasyPutter and 3 others 6 Quote Qi10 - Terra Forza White | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | G430 3-Hybrid - Kai'li White 80s SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 Mezz Max | Pro V1x | Vortex Blade | Ghost Maverick Black Ops - Forum Edition | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment

Chubbs1991 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 If I had the chance to choose any hole at Augusta National, I would choose the 18th. It's the ultimate test where you either know you've won the tournament, imagining all the past champions waiting for you by the green, or you feel the pressure of beating your playing partner to win the green jacket. There's just so much history and emotion tied to that hole. matt_puttercup and EasyPutter 1 1 Quote Driver: Taylormade Qi10 LS Project X Handcraft T1100 6.0 Fairway: Titliest 9115 3 Wood Irons: Callaway Legacy Black 4-PW KBS $ Taper X Wedges: SM10 48,52.56,60 DG Tour Issue S400 Putter: Taylormade Spider X tour Ball: Bridgestone XS Link to comment

JumboOctapus625 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 For me, I’ve always admired the secluded feel of hole 17. Just the view from the tee box being surrounded by the looming trees, leaves me in awe.

EasyPutter Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Anyone who knows how I golf, you will know I will be choosing one of the holes on the putting green by the clubhouse. If I have to pick one out on the course it would be #11 and I am pretty sure I could bring it in under 72 for that hole.
