The 14th tee at Seminole is one of golf's great orgasms.
Kirk,
This is your eighth post and the second one liner about the 14th at Seminole. Why?...What is your connection or what is so great about the tee to make it consume 25% of your comments.
Organ-ism not orgasm my apologies....Too much cough medicine this morning.
To answer your question, I think the 14th at Seminole is one of the greatest 5 pars ever built. Many agree that the 3 shotter is the most difficult to design/build. I have played driver / three-wood into a west wind and driver 6 iron with the prevailing. I have been pin high in 2 shots and walked away with a 9. I have birdied it from unlikely positions. I can't think of another 5 par that affords some many options/ decisions.
The fairway bunkers left and right present challenges with a prevailing wind and little trepidation into a wind. When played as 3 shotter into the wind, spin control and trajectory are paramount especially with a front pin location. Should one have a go in 2 and stray left, right or short, the green will not likely give in to an up and down easily. Once on the putting surface, anything above the hole or even to it is unnerving.
The back tee abuts the ocean to the east, affords views of the 16, 17 and 18th to the south and basically everything else to the southwest and west.
Seminole was built on ~180 acres, perhaps less. Some (read: George Peper) postulate that the course is overrated
while I think it is a marvel and deserving of my (now 9th) 33% post.
BTW...where was the other one liner ? The only thing funny about Seminole is what my caddies have told me.
