Personally, I love Torrey South as do many other people throughout the world. It does have the ocean and the weather. As so many majors of old were held at courses you may not have heard of I was once a member of Norwood Hills, a fine members course. It is a little early, and I have never played the course, so with no further adieu I nominate Atlanta Athletic Club, 2011 as the worst course to ever host a major. Today was the first day I had tuned in and the deal was sealed when the image of Tiger in the fairway bunker of number one hit my vision. The course looks far more than boring, just simply awful on every level outside of agronomics. The perfection of the conditioning amplifies the ungodliness of the design.
The good news is that I believe that we have finally hit rock bottom. Can you think of a worse course that has ever hosted a major?
note to JC...save the Augusta National comments, we get it.
