Re: What is your favourite type of (golf) hole? New

I am always partial to Cape holes.  Since I'm playing there tomorrow the 8th and 11th at Highlands of Elgin are excellent examples.  8th is a short hole that begs you to cut off a lot but the distance is longer than it looks.  Taking the safe way with a driver leaves you into a natural area through a fairway that does not keep your shot in play.

The 11th is just a big par 4.5 with a huge green. 

On both the pucker factor on the tee is high.  8th with a brave drive means a long pitch up tight.  Come short you are looking for a new golf ball.  11th actually lets you cut more off than you think (elevated tee?)  but still is stout.

The only way of really finding out a man's true character is to play golf with him. In no other walk of life does the cloven hoof so quickly display itself.
