What’s THE WORST Hole at Augusta ?

[Climbhard]

I don’t mean the hardest or the most unfair, but just the most blah. What’s the worst hold Augusta? I think it’s 17.  Go ahead. Fire away.

IDK but your thread title sucks isn't any good and makes no sense.

 

I guess don't start threads drunk or from your phone.

The First. The drama builds from there.

Wanna change my forum name to j hi ole.

thread title is a work of art. 

 

to butcher “hole” like that and recover strongly enough to nail augusta, right down to the capital “a” is a true syntactic triumph.

And then go on to mess up the word "hole" in the opening post.

Lord.  This is beautiful.

#3.  I’m so tired of hearing Colt Knost talk about whether or not players should hit iron off the tee or not and defend himself against commenters from Twitter that he isn’t allowed to refer to. It sounds like he’s arguing with voices in his head. It might be a great hole, but I’m tired of it. I hope they add 60 yards to it at this point. 
 

edit - it’s #3, not 4 like I originally posted.

Apparently, ANGC is the only course in the world with tricky fast greens.    And uneven lies.   And pressure packed shots.  And swirling winds.

 

Yet somehow winning scores are usually 10-20 under par.

Im guessing since this was posted after midnight on a Friday the drinks were flowing? lol

That's how I'm reading that. Is it right??

It took me a while to figure out he wasn’t misspelling frijoles 

[Mr.Cleeks]

There's no bad holes at Augusta (if that's what OP means), but 17 is probably my least favorite hole on the back 9. 

[randywildman]

Might be unpopular, #2 most days it's a birdie for these guys and sometimes eagle. Guys who lose on Sunday mostly don't take advantage on it, but I really feel like that is mostly due to pressure not due to what the hole is asking of you. Augusta  has a lot of challenging greens but I just don't feel like 2 is one of them it holds a lot of approach shots and the buckers are pretty easy to get up and down from.

[Denny100]

Id probably say the worst holes on the course are 4, 7 and 17

[Climbhard]

Getting slaughtered here for my spelling but handicapped with a band-aid over a skin crack on my thumb.  No relief given. 

[black bnr32]

The fairway bunkers on 5 look out of place so I’m going with that

Get some super glue and suck it up! My wife has one, too, I've been hearing about it for three days! Three days! 

 

I told her to put some j hi ole on it.

Fixed title because it was j hi ole bothering me.

It's the transcript of Sergio's call to Monahan to let him know he was joining up with GN.

yep ... used to like it quite a bit, but just too short now ... 

[kmbean]

If I had to pick one maybe 16?  The back pin and right pin are severe to a small miss and the front pin and Sunday pin are too easy.  Feels a little circus-y at times.

 

It also bothers me that blonde woman gets the same primo spot behind the tee every year and is in every camera shot lol.  She has to be doing something suspect to pull this off right?

This is a good way of wording it, that there are no bad holes at ANGC. There are, however, some holes that are much weaker than the iconic holes (2, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18). In comparison to the iconic holes, the rest are quite boring. However, 8 iconic holes on one 18 hole course is impressive.

16.  The hideous unnatural pond.  I’d restore the original MacKenzie hole.  

[jkumpire]

Pothole at the course entrance or entrance road is clearly the worst hole at ANGC
