  I don't hate this hole, just mad at it.  Nearly made my first HIO on Oakmont no.6 to see it miss by 0.9 feet. So close!

  apart from the obvious ones (#9 Oak, #15 BPB etc) I'd definitely vote for #17 Kiawah. I got the legend tier yesterday =) and through my first practice rounds from championship tee that hole has already claimed two out of three of my precious Legend SD2 vapor balls =(

  ST ANDREWS #11!!! No matter how hard you hit it, it always hits the bump and speeds off to the top of the green. In fact, the whole of St Andrews!

  Any hole at Oakmont where I have a10 ft. putt down hill...ZOOM...ZOOOOOM.  LOL

  lol. i just played an RG at oakmont .was taking off a % for the tourny speed green, lovely, everything was deadweight, a few better reads and i would have had a good few birdies. then realised i was playing on very fast greens.

  after that i hit them like very fast and was racing everything by, dropped a couple and wished i never spotted the green speed!!

  bizzarely i like kia#17, one of those holes i fancy it going close.

  hate holes are kia#5

  sta#13, doesn't have to be hard, it's normally a par hole, i just hate playing it

  bp#10, just never play it well

  oakmont#9 (a firm favourite ;) ) just can't buy a par there. first few times of playing it i got up and down regularly from the trap, can't seem to get it in the right place now.

  Another 2 in the pond today. The first hit the wooden supports at the front of the green and of course it then drops me in the bunker. Were I not -6 on the tee I would have withdrawn and not hit the 2nd ball. I always thought you could drop the ball as far back as you wanted....ie on the feckin tee?

  gutted for you mate, it seems to have it in for you this hole.

  as good as this game is, 2 clubs, line of entry or back to where you last played are in the basic rules of golf. whether it's hard to programme in or not, it's a bad point of the gameplay that needs changing.

  C'est la vie Paul. I don't get too upset about it when it happens now, it's the law of averages at work. It's when it happens off a meter skip that the cat gets a kickin........

  Yes the 17th at Kiawah is big trouble. I always had trouble on that hole. Got to thinking it's all in the mind.  Just like real golf, you see a lake infront of you and your mind will take control and 7 out 10 times I end up in the lake...lol. I think you have to take the lake out of ya mind, somehow.

  The hole I have trouble with is the 4th at Kiahwah.. If I get a par on that hole it's as good as a bird for me.

  For me it has to be the 11th at St Andrews! I can never land the ball on the green! Equally hard for me is the 17th at St Andrews! (The road hole)
