Show me a hole like that on WGT?
Players history shows (on that day) only SA play...no holes like that at SA..Cabo and wistler have some holes that are severely down hill...but none from the 110 yard range.
When I wrote this, I was a tour master. I recall a par 3 on Best of Par 3 Holes with 62 feet in elevation drop ... now, mind you, the shot from the blue tees was 230+ yards, not 125. Now if I was a total fool and hit my high-50's-level Ping 3 wood to cover the distance into a 20 mph headwind, I'd guarantee that my shot would fly over the hole and down the hill, even with full backspin.
Since our Giants' fan's history shows he only played SA, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he played a practice round of best of par 3 holes from the red tees with high winds. But then I'm going to have an issue with the severe downslope. Can't recall the slope severity from the red tees!
In any case, I was attempting to find some logic to Giants' Fan's complaint, instead of dragging him through post after post of belittling and hammering! He is, after all, a sensitive male with Giants' Fan anger issues!
