You have till EOD (PST) Wed to cast your votes. Just state your preference on this thread. The voting is open to all. I highly recommend those who have played the holes to try to influence the voters as much as possible. I will tally the results on Thu and schedule the next round.
Seed #3
Rye 13th
Tale of the tape: Par 4, 435 yards
Why: From Ran - The Sea Hole rivals the 3rd hole at National Golf Links of America and the original one at Prestwick as the finest Alps hole with which the authors are familiar. Fittingly enough, there are no bunkers around this hidden green.
Seed #14
Mont Adstock Golf Club 5th
Tale of the tape: Par 4, 420 yards
Why: From Binette - the mounds are like 40 feet high (probably some bedrock covered by dirt). What I love about the holes is the fact that a perfectly placed drive can be placed on a narrow gap on the right side on top of the hill, leaving you a clear view of the green, but a little left and the ball runs down the hill on the left side, leaving a blind, over the bunker approach a little too far right and you're blocked by some trees 50 yards further. The gap is about 10 yards wide and requires a 235 yards carry but you can’t hit it more than 260 on that line. A great hole, maybe less heroic but more strategic than the normal Alps hole
