C'mon Doug, you have been in that creek on 1, don't lie. I know that I have. In my initial post, I am just saying that they are pretty similar, I don't see how this can questioned really, but that is not the point, I was wondering if there are any other 'great' golf courses that have a situation like this. This is not a bash MV thread at all, although my head has never really hurt a whole lot after playing there.
Bill,
I am guessing from your posts you haven't played it. Yes, you are correct, the creek is closer on 18, but not that far on 1. A well hit hook with a wind from the right can easily get there.
I am not saying that they are 18 at Winged Foot from the back tee and 18 at Winged Foot from the middle back tee similar, just pretty damn similar.
