My only time playing the 8th was similar to Buck's just mentioned. Even though the caddy told me to hit it "that far left" off of the tee my mind and body just kept wanting to hit it right, it was a very uncomfortable shot for me. I hit 3-wood off the tee to the far right, almost to the cliff, and had to hit a 5-wood over the chasm, which I did, to just left of the green. Chipped on, two putt bogey. The shot over the chasm was really cool though, and every time I see a picture of the 8th looking back from the green towards the fairway I can think of that shot I hit that had to carry the whole way.
