This is the part of the thread which I have to say rely on your best judgement. Quite obviously we all see things differently. There are even times when we see things the same, but ultimately we do have different visions of what we are seeing.
I guess I'm trying to say that this width-thing is good for the purpose of allowing options to the hole. That doesn't mean that at least once during the round you can't have something that isn't constricted either.
One of the most constricted holes I know of is at a mundane public course I used to call my home. Its owned by a Tawainese gentleman (let me rephrase that--man) that doesn't really put much effort into the course as far as maintenance, and the result is that the course suffers a reputation as being a horrible place. But strategy abounds at this course, and it has been a guide for me of sorts, because it has all sorts of options. Someday I will do an In My Opinion piece on the course--someday.
This constricted hole--the 9th, is a par 5 of some 520 yards, and its hard to believe that its even reachable for me on a good day. That is if I can place my drive with-in the left side out of bounds, and avoid any of the trees that have matured into play that line the right side, the entire length of the hole. Some 260 + yards out is a small pond that acts as a cross hazard and can make or break you. the rest of the hole opens up from there, but a certain death awaits anyone trying to play-up the right side. It is a hard angle to play-in from.
The fact is, I can play a five iron off of this tee and still get myself into trouble as much as playing a driver. In fat, many times I have seen, a Tiger playing Driver-three wood on to the green and losing the hole to a player that hit five iron-five iron-five iron, one-putt. The hole never ceases to amaze me. It is a total blast to play, and it's the only hole on the course that is grossly narrow. The rest are full of width and options as mentioned in the previous thread.
Still, in my experieince of the hole, I can birdie it one day and take a 12 on it the next, it is that menacing. Its an excellent match play hole, especially where it fits into the round when playing a Nassau, with automatic presses on 9 & 18.
If there was more holes like this on this course, it would be too much. But it fits perfectly into the variety of holes that exist throughout the course.
