P.S. What's ping png and where have I encouraged it?
16 at Pac.
Last week at Pacific Dunes I saw a solid 4-hdcp play ping pong on #16.
Very solid tee shot down the middle into two club wind, 110 to back pin.
Nine iron up in the air, JUST short, heart-breakingly short right. 40 yards down to the bottom of the hill.
SW JUST over the green into deep bunker.
Three shots later, bunker shot JUST over the green, 40 yards down the hill.
Ball in pocket, thank heaven for match play, "your hole sir!"
World class ping pong hole.
By "ping pong" (which I introduced to this thread in the context of Seminole in windy and hard conditions), I mean narrow, perhaps crowned, slick greens with deep bunkers or steep fall offs on both sides, where it is maddenly simple to play almost precise shots that somehow wind up across the green in a position where it's not difficult to do it again....and again. That's ping pong.
Austin Golf Club has a number of opportunities as well.
