The Hole You Hate The Most.....?

  BPB #15 I rarely even par it and have in over a year on here only birdied it once. Like Yankee Jim said the Nasty Evil front pin placement makes for some wild breaking putts and from above the hole it is like putting down a mountain. The Best thing to do at least for me is to try to hit your approach shot well to the left and let the slope bring it back down to the hole. I aced it i CTTH play doing just that. However it wasn't planned. I had not played the back side of BPB then and didn't know how that green ran downhill to the right and i hit what I thought was an awful pull and then watched it run downhill right into the hole. If I didn't mess up my saved shots it is still there on my profile.

  My second most hated hole is Kia #17. I can't tell you how many good rounds have been ruined by a slight miss hit that ended up in the lake. Or I was so worried about the lake that i clicked so early that I ended up so far left that it made for an almost impossible chip or pitch.

  My problem is putting on Tournament Greens (and at the moment trying to stop typing in bold letters)

  As for any certain hole (now the italics wont go away) I can't narrow it down to just one

  My favorite hole on this one particular day...

  BPB #15

  Eagle at BPB #15

  enjoy

  Happy Golfing

  After hitting my tee shot in the water, two consecutive 18 hole RG @ 7-8 under, I told my Avatar to jump in and retrieve my balls. When he took off his trousers he wasn't wearing any boxers!.... Needless to say I rushed my chip, then 2putted for a triple six.

  #9 on Oakmont for me. Brutal! I know how to play it but I can turn a par into a 6 real easy.

  Every course on WGT has at least one hole to offer that I loathe, though the order changes from time to time. Oakmont definitely is worst...no matter which hole, as soon as you don't hit the fairway you're going to be in BIG trouble.

  The holes I hate the most:

  Oakmont #9: Very long, and a treacherous green as well. Usually I aim my approach shot at the bunker and try to stick the bunker shot near to the pin. Seems a more reliable option than playing a long downhill putt with evil breaks as well.

  Bethpage Black #15: I aim the approach shot to the bottom left corner of the green and hope the backspin will carry it back to the pin. Often the approach gets stuck in the rough, calling for a pitch or similar shot. If that doesn't end up close there's little chance in making a par on this one.

  Kiawah #5: Most people hate #17 or #14, but in comparison I find #5 much harder (all par 3s, by the way!). Especially with a strong wind behind you I find it almost impossible to make the ball sit near the pin.

  St. Andrews #17: I've been playing this hole much better recently, but it's still a challenging one...

  It would be interesting for  WGT to publish average score numbers for every hole on every course. It seems like that is data they should be able to sort. It would be interesting to see the average scores by tier also.

  I have said this before but, the statistical information for this game should look more like this-->

  http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/

   

  It also would be interesting to see how your ranking/stats compare to other players in your tier.  Is it really that hard ?

   

  A little more attention to the  traditional "golf" game would be appreciated , at least by me.

  It might look like that in the master tier and up to legend. But the amateurs and hacks should not have stats comparable to the pga tour
