Can't say I disagree with any.  Wondering if there are any more, such as 10 at Pine Valley you would put in.....

The second shot (no matter the distance) at Riviera's 10th.

[Josh Tarble]

The drive on the 18th at TPC.

Jeff, I find the tee shot on 14 much scarier than the tee shot on 10...

[Paul Gray]

Having little experience of them I'm not best placed to judge perhaps but I can say that at face value at least none of these shots scare me.

Give me a 40 yard chip and run however on a seriously firm and fast course with something approaching a miniature mountain range to negotiate and I can certainly feel my heart racing. But then that wouldn't produce the right photos for the article.

[Jon Wiggett]

Looks more like a difficult shots at famous courses to me though agree that the odd one or two would be nerve racking. However, saying that the 17th at TOC is a scary shot difficult to par yes but scary no. A 272 yard par four does not become any scarier as a par three either. 17 at Sawgrass I can see as scary though and Pine Valley certainly has its fair share.

Now the first tee shot at Whitefield, Dunbar is a scary shot.

Get the putter out Paul.

I play links golf. I barely know how to use anything else.

100% agreed CR!

[David Whitmer]

One that jumped out to me is the tee shot on the 8th hole at Butler National. Water short, right, and long, and overhanging trees and a bunker to the left. Long enough that I hit a 4 iron. I gotta say, that got my attention.

Also, the tee shot on #12 at Muirfield Village to a back-right hole location.

One more...the tee shot on #18 at Crooked Stick when you've been fighting an uncontrollable fade all day.

[John Connolly]

I'd agree with Carnoustie's 6th - Hogan's Alley.

I stood on the tee and said to myself, 'don't go left, don't go left, don't go left'.

I hit it left.

[Keith Grande]

A greenside bunker shot with green sloping towards a water hazard (something like #17 at PGA National)...

[Mark McKeever]

11 at Pasatiempo - second shot

Cliff, its probably not half as bad if you're not ten paces into the right rough!   

[Thomas Dai]

Surely a shot is only scary if there's no lay-up or alternative/option available? Or, I guess, if the alternatives/options are equal in the difficulty stakes to the shot initially considered to be scary.

11 at Pasatiempo - second shot

I was thinking the same thing- his third shot over the baranca is the dicey one!:) No way any nontour player goes for 11 from the spot of the picture.

[J_ Crisham]

The second shot (no matter the distance) at Riviera's 10th.

+1,   I think the 2nd shot into 8 at Prairie Dunes is much harder though. At Riv at least you will be in a bunker- at PD you can be in the shiite.

[William_G]

very back tee Old Head #18 or very back tee at #12 Manele Bay   

[Cliff Hamm]

Why would anyone think that a picture is taken only from where a ball has landed?  Is this better?  And no this is also not necessarily where a ball landed, simply a photo of a great hole...



Best drive of the day.  Made the second not nearly as intimidating as from the right rough

[Bill_McBride]

10 and 11 back to back at Pasa, as tough as it gets. 

I have never hit a shot at the 11th green except from the far side of the barranca.  Nothing good lurks on the right side of that green!

[Howard Riefs]

Cliff, its probably not half as bad if you're not ten paces into the right rough!  

It's still scary from the left side of the fairway.

[Kevin_Reilly]

Not on the list, but hard to feel comfortable with this one, as demonstrated by a GCAer.

[Patrick Kiser]

11th or 12th there Kevin?  I'm guessing the 12th.

[Mark Chaplin]

10 at PV is a pretty comfortable shot with an 8 iron. I'd say the 3/4 wedge to the left green on 8 at PV and the approach to 18 on Olympic Lake again with a short iron are far scarier.

[Tim Martin]

Tee shot on 17 at Kiawah Ocean
