There's a few holes which have been listed repeatedly -
#16 Cypress
#17 St Andrew's Old
#8 Pebble
Some have been mentioned in only one posting. I especially agree that #9 at Turnberry is a terrific hole, as is #13 ANGC.
It seems pretty clear to me that I must also take a flight from Melbourne - direct to NGLA as soon as humanly possible.
Where does #6 Royal Melbourne West and sit in all this ?
Of all the holes proposed, and the discussion therein, the strategic aspects, and aesthetic value, as well as the quirky seem to surface repeatedly as important considerations in judging. The demand for great thought, and great shotmaking, in a beautiful setting...
How important are the historical aspects of a hole ? By that, I mean, the part a hole has played in a major Championship, or what special moments is has played host to in the past ??
