This hole is the second best par 3 in the world besides 17 at Sawgrass. I have played both courses twice and was one under at both. I have two pictures on my office desk that have pictures with my dad on each tee.
So one could say this is America's Postage Stamp? I like how it came to be and was iterated upon, great story!
One of my favorite viewings of this hole being played was by the greats Arnold Palmer and Sam Sneed at Pebble beach for the Shell wonderful world of golf
This Par 3 is the best that doesn't have a gimmick attached to it
