You are given the chance to play one hole at Augusta 10 times in a row... which one?

Same hole 10 times in a row and ur done forever.... what do you pick?

I think I play 15... it’s a par 5... there are a million nuances to that green and if I hit it long I may play a shot to 16 if I get a chance...

What say you?

Am I trying to get the lowest score on all 10 times? If so, I play 13 and 16. I play 13 because I might be able to hit it in 2 shots and get an eagle or birdie. I play 16 because of the slop, but it depends upon the pin placement. I would not want right side (front or back) pin placement, but would play it all day on left side pin placement. I also like 8 if I was playing for score. The rest of the holes are too hard. I've been 4 times and would definitely not want to have to birdie 1, 2, 3, (maybe 4), 5, 6 7 or 9. On the back, 10, 11 and 12 are really hard. 13, 14 and 15 are possible, but 15 you have to hit the perfect approach hot. 17 is not real hard, so that would be my 3rd hole to play. 18 would be a bear for me. Some of the holes depend upon the pin placement.

16 Sunday pin placement. 10 shots and I may get one close enough to birdie.

12

It's a morose fascination of mine that so many of the greatest players in the world continually frick up a 150 yard par 3 that is basically a choke 9 or full wedge for everyone out there. There has to be something to that hole that visuals can't do justice - I want to play it and experience it for myself.

13. It's just my favorite hole on the course, and I think it's the perfect par 5. Not really long, but it requires two excellent shots.

If we're playing this game, I'll just hit one over the green on 1 to #2, then play over the trees on 2 to #3, then long again to #4, etc. I'll play the whole course by the time I'm done, then go hole out on #1.

Having been to the course myself, 3 looks like it should be so incredibly easy, but the slope in that fairway from right to left and the undulation of that green is absolutely insane.

I’ve played Augusta 3 rounds. 12 is the hardest par 3 you will ever play. With wind coming down hill from 10 to 11 and then 12 it swirls in the trees behind 12 and starts to move back up on 13. With wind it is impossible for mear mortals.

Played with a 2, 8 (member) 12 and I’m a 9.. second and third rounds were brutual winds

2 played it birdie, double, in pocket
8 played it double, in pocket, in pocket
12 played it in pocket, double, in pocket
I played it in pocket, in pocket, double.


I would never want to play 12,10 times in a row.

13 would be my choice. Non long hitters can par it. Good long hitters can think about going but it’s not as easy as it looks on tV ... 15 green is impossible if you can not manage the speed. I went on 15, 2putt, 2 putt, 5 putt. ... and I’m a good putter. It doesn’t look down hill and it’s way faster than it looks. If you wanted the best score for 10 times played I’d think 2.

Gimme #12

I know how the winds swirl around make it tough, but I like to think I'm pretty good at gauging that. And the green is the closest thing to flat there is on the course.

I like my chances of making a few birdies out if the 10 tries.

12 or 16. Always a chance for a hole in one. I would ordinarilybsay 16, but given that 12 is on Amen Corner that might be the one.

13, easier of the par 5’s, not that I would stand a shot of paring it but if Sergio makes a 13 on 15 I don’t want any part of it!
