Golf question
 
I just received a golf survey. It had a couple of interesting questions.

1. If you could play any golf course in the world, what would it be?

2. If you could play any golf hole in the world, what would it be?

The course I would most like to play (but never will) is Augusta of course. Would anyone give a different answer?

The greatest course that I have actually played is Cypress Point.

My favorite individual holes (that I have played) are:

#16 Cypress Point
#17 TPC Sawgrass
#7 Pebble Beach

How did you do at #17 at TPC?

I played 17 at a course that had a number of replica holes - same yardage, water hazards, etc. (but clearly not the same). Put the first shot over but put the second was on the green.

I can’t imagine how many balls I would lose at the real hole. I would probably run out of water balls!!

Would love to play Augusta, husband already played thanks to Billy Joe Patton, a member and famous golfer back in his day ( amateur who ALMOST won Masters)
. Blue monster (Doral), Peeble Beach, Sawgrass, Pinehurst #2, and PGA National all tied for favorite but home course in NC, Mimosa Hills (Donald Ross) most fun. Favorite hole, Pebble Beach #8, cliff shot, awesome

Lots of people would agree with that one. Certainly the most scenic. I was in the south of Ireland last year but decided not to pay the 400 euros/round. Probably should have.

You can get three types of days there:
1) beautiful, sunny,
2) foggy, can't see the fairway
3) rainy and windy. . .

We got a #1 day, the day after a #2 day

I probably will never play it again, just due to cost and want to go to other parts of the world to travel and golf.

Next on the list is New Zealand's Cape Kidnappers, similar views

Totally agree……best and most scenic and most memorable I have ever played. (22 years ago)
Augusta would be the one most desired to play.
As for favorite hole I want to play……Augusta 12

Golf Digest #10 in the world Cabot Cliffs at Inverness in Nova Scotia Canada.
Perhaps this summer who knows.

The Augusta par 3 course.

chuckpedrey 02-26-2025 08:51 AM

COURSE: Threetops par 3 in Galord Michigan. Definitely a bucket list destination.

Hole: #7 on Threetops has about a 100 foot drop from tee to green.
