History
Jewel-like beauty, especially from the new
elevated tee, number 17 is both pleasing to
the eye and deceiving in difficulty. Since
the artist of the present uses the paints of
the past, much of how you see this hole or
any hole, depends on what has happened here
in other rounds, but most of all on what
happened on the hole you've just played. If
you have just won the hole, made a birdie,
or can bogey-out for your best score ever,
then the beauty of this hole is greatly
enhanced.
