Are good long drive contest holes, good driving holes?
« on: January 25, 2018, 04:16:35 PM »
If there every was a day that someone was able to hold a charity scramble at Augusta National, on what hole would they set up the long drive competition?


It seems that short of 7 and maybe 8 or 15 there are no good holes for such an event. Is this a sign of a golf course that does a good job of testing a players driving ability?

For a charity scramble, any hole.
For a PGA tour field 5,8, 11, 15, 17
