Default Re: Biggest Golf Pet Peeve

Put another one on the board.

Unfair golf holes. I would consider an unfair hole as one that punishes shots that aren't perfect. Such a hole occured yesterday at the University of Michigan golf course. Hole #6 is a very short par 4 (320 yards). The green looks something like this. The green represents the pin position, the red is where my ball landed, the blue is where my ball ended up. I was then forced to drop off the green to chip up, hit my flop shot a bit short and into the bunker, and made 6. After my ball landed about 20 feet right of the pin.

I think that greens such as this are unfair for the fact that they give you no safe play to take. The course designer can make pins as tucked as they want to, but they should leave a bail out area where if you hit 2 solid shots and 2 solid putts you make par and move on.
