Mine is the 6th hole at the course I grew up on. In all honesty its a ridiculously easy hole that should be the easiest birdie opportunity on the course. I however have found a way to lose tournaments based on just that hole. 236 yard Par 4 with a tight fairway, tree protecting the left third of the green, two bunkers, out of bounds on the right of the hole and behind it. It should simply be a 7-iron lay up with about a 40 yard pitch into the green. And there my friends is my dilemma... I'm a great short game player but that pitch to a downward sloped green with bunkers surrounding it gets me every time. I think I'm going to start treating it like a par 3 and hit 2 or 3 iron from the tee from now on.
