This thread struck me as an attempt to start an argument as opposed to a legitimate query. However, I'll bite just in case the author was dropped on his head in the delivery room.

The beauty of the 10th consists of its simplicity. Most great golf courses include one hole where the challenge is primarily psychological. Just a simple pitch to an expansive target, two putts and off to the next tee. Except like the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, the penalty for a little slip on #10 is death.
The Short at Piping Rock presents a similar visually intimidating scenario, but there is a possible escape with deft bunker play. At PV, the gravest penalty might not be in the DA, but right, left or long in the scrub.
How does #10 at PV compare to the rest of the golf course? Every hole at PV presents a completely different arrangement of hazards and strategic challenge. At #10, you make the turn and begin with a deceptively simple test of nerve. Pass the test and off you go, yet eventually there will come a day when the breeze is swirling a bit, or you catch that 8-iron a hair heavy. One never really forgets the painful aftermath of hemorrhoid surgery either.
Worst hole? No, just the most humiliating place on the golf course for a misstep.
