Best Road Hole templates

Two things stand out with respect to the original:  1) it is essentially a double-dogleg; and 2) the green shaping front right that makes it possible to access a pin behind the bunker with a pitch from short left of the green if one is daring enough to do so.  After leaving my second short of the bunker I muffed a pitch that ran around it to within 6 feet. 

Bogey

[Jim Nugent]

Jim,   These young kids hit wedge on every par 4 nowadays- case in point this Summer we hosted the Western Am at Beverly. Our "strong "par 4's #5,8, 15,and 16 were all wedge or 9 iron seconds. In fact #13 which is 385 yds slightly uphill was driven by a kid. I asked him after his round about it and he shrugged his shoulders and said it was downwind. Everyone was going after #14 at 330 yds. Watched a kid hit a 285 yard 4iron into #7- it was a club or two downwind.

I keep wondering when players like this will start taking over the tour and the majors.
