Well, reading this I am kinda proud of myself.
Yesterday I played a course called Stone Tree in Novato, CA, a bit north of SF.
I think I finally found a bad golf hole: #12. Two blind unmarked hazards not even listed on the yardage guide / map; plus a hazard 260 out, requiring a 280 clear or a layup given the downwind nature of the hole... thus meaning one has no place to hit his drive or 2nd shot on this 535 yard hole.
I layed up, lucked out by hitting a bad enough shot to miss both hazards, pitched on and made par.
I still hated the hole.
I made double on #9, a great, tough par 4 with water right off the tee and left by the green...
I still loved the hole.
Cool, I guess I am overcoming personal performace bias.
