  Can someone tell me if the green is REALLY that treterous in real life?  I mean a 4-putt is GOOD for me on that hole.

  Ridiculous!

  That picture is 100% real-the pin's just placed in a 4th round spot.

  lol, i have played black a couple times and can confirm that the slope is as dramatic as it is in the game. did you watch tiger's chip role all the way back down that slope during the us open 09? he double bogeyed it so dont feel that bad. i will say that i have never played the green as fast as they play in the game. hope this answers your question.

  by the way, the pin is not placed in the fourth round spot. in fact, they didnt put it there the whole week. too difficult for the pros!

  Well they sure didn't put it there just for the picture and it doesn't look photo-shopped!

  Yep, the hole location sthe pros played on was always at the back side of the green during the Open.

  Communication breakdown-my "fourth round" reference wasn't to the actual USOpen-I was just saying "hard" a different way. Usual practice in a 4 round tournament is to change the pin placements every day and save the toughest ones for the final (4th) round.

  Hey! How cool would it be if that happened here?

  How about we drop a bomb on the green - I hate the bloody hole!!!!

  As for moving pins - now that would be good - on the 15th suggest we stick it on the end of the fairway!!
