THE SWING 13. Whistling Straits - 18th par 4, 500 yards or ‘Dyeabolical’, as it’s also known. A huge par four where birdies are nigh-on impossible starts with a tee shot that must avoid sand dunes, bunkers and a creek, before a downhill approach shot that has to deal with often violently gusting winds. The green itself is huge, inviting three putts-aplenty. 14. Royal Melbourne - 6th par 4, 428 yards Designed by Alister MacKenzie, this horror forces players to dodge a cluster of sculpted bunkers - so deep and vast players must feel they are in the desert - as they try to negotiate a sharp dogleg right. The approach shot can then be considered relatively simple but then you get to the green: elevated and so steeply angled from back to front than players have been known to put off the surface entirely and end up in one of the surrounding sand traps. 15. Augusta National - 12th par 3, 155 yards The scariest par three in golf? One of Augusta’s (many) landmark holes has been known to sink many a Masters wannabee, guarded as it is by swirling winds all around, Raes Creek in front and - of course - the azaleas which flower behind the hole. Tom Weiskopf, four times a runner-up at Augusta, hit five balls in the water on his way to a 13 here in 1980. Nick Price puts it thus: "It’s the one hole I’ve played that demands absolute commitment mentally. Wind or not, if you don’t have that, you will pay serious consequences.” 16. Oakmont - 1st par 4, 482 yards Oakmont can shred the nerves of even the steeliest golfer right from the start thanks to its brutish first hole. A fairway that is only 24 yards wide allows no room for error, surrounded as it is by bunkers and horrible rough. Approach shots can be hit blind if the effort from the tee ends up short, and - just to cap things off - the green slopes front to back. 17. St Andrews Old Course - 17th par 4, 495 yards The Road Hole is the most famous in the Open rotation with a reputation as the toughest par 4 in championship golf. Drives should carry 260 yards over the replica railway sheds to reach the right edge of the fairway. Approach should be to the right half of the green to avoid the Road Hole Bunker. Anything long will result in a shot from the road behind the green. Nasty. 18. Entabeni Safari Reserve - 19th par 3, 395 yards The strangest hole in golf, and certainly the hardest. You probably get a sense of what is to come when you board your helicopter after finishing at the 18th so you can ascend to the top of the nearby Hanglip Mountain to play your tee shot. The longest tee shot on any par three in golf then takes almost 30 seconds to land, with a spotter on the ground being told the rough direction of the shot before going off to search for it. Incredibly, 15 players have managed to score a birdie. TM | MARCH/APRIL <strong>2018</strong> 62
