With HP's permission, I am going to post the next bench to find.

The bench is under the red arrow. When I found it I also found a golf cart that WGT hadn't taken out of the picture. Find the golf cart and you find the bench. The course is pretty obvious (hint: it's not Wolf Creek), so what I want to know is what hole is the picture taken from. I have blacked out the minimap so it's not obvious.

A sleeve of balls to the one who can tell me the hole the picture is taken from, and another sleeve of balls if you can tell me (with a photo) of what else is close by.

There appears to be a blueish coloured object between the right edge of the picture and your blacked out minimap area (which can't be seen unless you open the picture in a new tab). I wonder what that might be?

OK, move along, you got the wrong hole.

Wait for the "pros" to get the answer. :)

(trying to throw you off until after I get a chance to look around. I do know that cart!)

I reckon it's the 4th and where they have a stand during the Open, as I doubt if WGT did the photo's then (or we'd all have missed it for many years :-/)........

Scott, how do I play a single hole?

That's just the blue distance marker, I moved it out of the way of the main picture.

It's not the 4th. Don't forget about the 2nd part of the puzzle too, for which I'll need a screenshot.

I don't think you can play a single hole any more, unless there's a back door way?!?

Easier said than done. Unless in the right location, the greenskeeper cart is not always visible. It only shows up on some of the WGT photo/angles.

Sorry...

Grabbed this from #6 St. A (Bench is hard to see, but it is there far right (to right of cart). The bonus item is just to the avatar's left (duh!). (Can click to enlarge)

Hit approximately 54 yards (adjusting for wind) to the right side of of forward tee (hitting from the waybacks)

Hehe. I didn't have a clue at this point.

I don't thnk you can anymore Dodgy. You could try three random holes and keep restarting until the yardage for your desired hole comes up in the scorecard. But that's a bit of a lottery.
