The 17th at Long Shadow is possibly the best, most original hole on a course full of bold statements. Coming where it does in the round, it is also in some ways the coup de grace, even though 18 makes for a nice gambling finish, albeit unfortunately uphill.
I love the name "crab cake".
Even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the features of the golf hole, earlier this year I posted some photos of the unintentional originator of that moniker buried deep within the bowels of that fronting bunker.
He's probably still queasy from playing 36 with me that day in serious heat and humidity and just had a delayed reaction that evening.
Amazing how quickly news travels north these days, Michael C.
