Another Arizona gem.  Who can spot the line of charm?



Is the cart path at least better there than down the right side, where it would help kick balls OB?

I posted this in another thread, but the Iberostar Bavaro (a new PB Dye course) has the following par 3:





Note not only the garish starfish green, but the sand cutting across the other fairway, right next to fairway bunkers.


Looks like the maintenance practices have changed the hazard edges over time :D

Another WTF moment from Arizona.





Wow, you know the tee certainly isn't close to the previous green when you need a map to find it ;D

That was totally photoshopped.
When I first saw the picture I was impressed with how well they replicated the logo - no matter how silly.
Looking at the other picture makes much more sense.
They would have had to hired a GPS expert to do the logo as in the original (2nd above) picture....
cheers

Here's mine...if left to my own devices, no matter how long I would have stood on this tee, I'd have never believed the green was up and to the left.  Everything my eye told me was that it was wrapped around the trees in the corner on the right...



In that case it would have similar to #8 Bottle, right?

Why is this a WTF?  Looks like a great job by the architect of making the player uncomfortable from the tee!
