Favorite Golf Hole played in 2010: No. 18, Carolina GC in Charlotte (my home club).

Why: June 24 - birdied to claim $1 trash and $5 Nassau; Dec. 20 - birdied to win two skins and one trash and draw even for the match.

He is a +3 ... probably means he birdied it.
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Precisely why I'm trying to recruit him to play in the Buda this fall! We need more cowbell!

A ridiculous photo!

I hit my approach in the creek and made 5.

Not best, not most memorable, not toughest, not most architecturally sound... but ... favorite.

#11 at Kinloch.  Par five...we played it from the middle tees, so it was a par 4.5.  I flat-out killed my drive, had seven-iron distance left (needed six iron) hit seven iron, came up short, made 5 or 6 (don't recall.)  Below you see a photo from the club's web site of the hole.  There is a shallow isthmus of a second fairway to the right, but only a stick or a jester would intentionally aim for it.



Our fellow GCA'er, Kevin Lynch, aimed at the left fairway and hit a massive slider.  As I recall, he had prefaced the shot by saying "only an idiot would aim right."  The ball was little more than away when he began to encourage it to move more to the right...more...more.  His enthusiasm was rewarded as the ball did indeed find the right fairway; we were tripled over amid gales of laughter.

Kinloch was my Augusta...caddies, immaculate conditions, solitude, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (thanks, LG) that I'll not repeat during this mortality.  Although I drove the  4th and 2-putted for birdie and striped a 5-iron in to three feet on #7 for another chirper, #11 was doubtless my favorite hole of the year.

The 5th at Lancaster stood out as one hole I was very impressed with. It's placement in the sequence, and the whole routing, was just about perfect. I could say the same for the 13th at Friars Head.
