Least favourite hole?

  BPB 15 i have figured out pretty well. I find the high pin position harder than the lower one.

  Oak nr 9 is my favorite hardest hole. I occasionally try to go for the hole but only with a little headwind. Any wind from behind or the side i lay up to around 50 yrds and punch my cleveland 64 to get close for par.

  I also have a love hate relationship with the backpin on the road hole at st andys. or better said,  i have this relationship with the bunker at the roadhole at st andys.

  On the other hand i like these harder holes because off the challenge it brings

  It's not much fun with a tailwind and the back pin either.

  Least favourite approach shot holes:

  St Andrews 17th (Would be easier if they just built a brick wall infront of that pin)

  RSG 9th (like landing a peanut on a bowling ball)

  CCC 11th (old pin position)

   

  Least favourite greens:

  Oakmont 9th

  Kiawah 4th (those dots make no sense what so ever.)

  Bethpage 15th (if you're anywhere but below the hole, it's a mission.)

  If I had to choose one hole I think of before I get to as being a par at best hole, it would have to be St Andrews 17th. The approach is just so difficult to get within 10 feet.

  The 9th hole at Oakmont with the pin tucked behind the trap on the right is by far the toughest hole on WGT.  Rare that you get a birdie and from the back tees, you often have to play into the trap to have a shot at par.  Landing over the trap on Legend green speed will often give you a 20 foot downhill putt with 5 feet of break that can rarely be 2 putted unless you can make a 12 footer coming back.

  The 17th at STA under heavy winds is tough but not a hard hole to par.  Same with BPB 15 it can be tough but not to par.  The 2nd at STA is the most difficult hole to get close, from either pin and can leave you some tough putts but par is fairly easy there.

  Stroke average for masters and legends I would have to believe is higher on 9 at Oakmont in terms of par than any other hole.  I'm sure WGT can weigh in on this since they probably have the stats.

  I'll throw in Olympic #13.

  Not that it's impossible to play, but I'm scarcely in contention there.

  Take the tee shot, if you wanna be close and miss the ding you're up in the rough, a dreaded shot downhill yells for Bogey.

  Playing left or long, you face that steep sloping green, and I really don't want to find myself in the bunker lefthand side.

  Take a paper bag and throw it into the Bay please!
