The Sept/Oct Links Magazine has a foldout of the best match play hole in golf by our esteemed Geoff Shackelford. It hasn't appeared on their website yet, so guess what they are.
Hints: Five 3s, five driveable 4s, 4 other 4 pars, four par fives, all reachable with some regularity. Six non-US. Only three have OB (I think). Water on 3 par 3s, one short 4, one regular 4, two fives. One hole does not have a bunker (par 3). Two have blind approaches. Three are hole #10, three are hole #4. If you are 1,2,7,9,11,15, sorry, you didn't make it. Twice, holes are just a few miles from each other, one's nearest neighbor is thousands of miles away. One opened last year, two in the 70s, the others are all a lot older. Pennsylvania was shut out. One hole has been surrounded by guesses. This will be modified as guesses occur and more brain cells kick in. Four are not covered in GCA Courses by Countries entries. Augusta National is the only course with two choices. The courses featuring the remaining par 3 and par 4 have not (to my knowledge) been on live US television for a tournament, and both have undergone revision, or restoration, or renovation since 2000. The remaining par 3 and par 5 are in GB&I, but in different countries. The remaining par 4 is in the US, and is in a state not previously guessed.
As we are down to one par 5, we have established it is on a moden The Open venue, has OB, does not have water, and previous guesses have named the course, but not this hole.
They're all picked.
As they are answered, I will post in reply #1.
