  For me, #13 at Kiawah. From the Legend tips, the tee ball is very intimidating using premium balls and it is very long. Just a tiny push is wet and a tiny pull is sand or heavy rough. Because of the price of good balls, the hole is able to get into my head and I seem to go left more often than not.

  I agree with #6 at Kiawah but another hole that should be easy but gives me fits is #10 on Kiawah, make more pars there than birdies and its usally a short iron into that green but most the time leave with par.

  And I would add #1 at Congressional, approach always seems to come up short and leave ponger putt than I want.

  Also #6 at St. Andies, also in ready gos mostly a must birdie hole thats easy enough but gives me fits.

  - #7 at St. Andrews - A very easy hole for longer hitters but for shorter hitters like me it gives me fits because I have to decide between a 140 yard shot from the deep rough or a risky layup to the left fairway leaving me with a 190 yard shot.

  - #14 and #18 at St. Andrews - The green for both holes are very tricky. One yard short and you're looking at an impossible pitch. Also for #14 if you hit a bad lay-up you could end up OB.

  - #12 at St. Andrews - The drive for long hitters is very easy, but for short hitters it is very tricky. A little short or a little long and you're in a bunker. And left and right are thick fescue rough.

  - #13 at St. Andrews - One yard too long and it rolls 60 feet by leaving a very difficult two-putt. A little too short and be left with an impossible chip.

  - #2 at Kiawah- Look innocent but missing the green short results in an impossible up-and-down. Going long results in a very quick 15+ feet downhill putt with some crazy breaks.

  -#4 at Bethpage - Looks innocent but hitting third shot short results in an impossible up-and-down. Hit it on the green and it trickles 25+ feet by.

  - #2 at Oakmont - One of the toughest greens on WGT. A par 4 of less than 350 yards and you'd be very thrilled to get out with a par.

  Easy answer for me.  Oakmont #12.

  The way I look at it, all par 5s on every course that we play is there for me to abuse.  If I don't mishit the ball too much, it should be a tap in bird.  With a nice tailwind it ought to be a makeable eagle.

  But not Oakmont #12, noooo.  Especially with the new pin position but even with the old one.  Miss the approach right or left just 4 feet and you got a nasty breaker.  Leave it short and you're faced with a downhiller that if you sneeze on it it will go 20 feet.

  I need the Air Force to drop a daisy cutter right in the middle of that green, lol.
