  Bethpage Black hole 15. It's my nightmare. I just can't find the green in 2.

  No prob Russ: Hit the bunker below and dig out of it below the hole: A good Par chance, sandy birdies possible.

  Unless you are 3 wood distance away from the pin,take 2 clubs more than you would normally use for the distance needed and try to land the ball on the far left side of the green no more than 1/4-1/3 of the way onto the green.Doing this will allow the ball to follow the contour of the green and feed down towards the holeI have holed out 3 times playing it like that. Twice for eagle and once for an ace in the BPB CTTH challenge.

  ,But yes this hole can be a nightmare, Even if you get on in 2 if you land in the wrong spot. Well above the hole on the lower pin is an almost impossible putt to even get close.

  Let's see...   Here are my top 3 least favorite

  1. Oak 9

  2. STA 17

  3. KIA 17

  Those are just holes that make me cringe.  STA 17 is a beast with a head or right-left wind.  Oak 9 is just messed up, and KIA 17 is just one of those holes...

  Or lay up to the end of the fairway, leaving you a full wedge to the pin, which is a good up and down chance. Overall, you can just approach the 15th as a bogey hole and consider it a success if you get a 5, a bonus if you get a 4.

  BPB 15 can be comfortably reached in two, add about 15 yards to your yardage because its uphill, and aim for the bottom left-hand side of the green, the ball then runs up the hill and back down towards the hole.

  WGT's 'easy' pin position is actually the hardest pin position on that hole IMO
