The Hole Experience
Hole 16 arrives at a point in the round where focus matters. It is the second hardest hole for men and a significant challenge for all players. The tee shot is the defining moment. Choose the correct line, commit to it and make a full swing.
The hole is not long by modern standards, but it has enough pressure to make it feel more demanding. The player who finds the fairway can look at the approach with confidence. The player who misses in the wrong place may be forced into recovery mode very quickly.
With a short or mid iron in hand, aim for the safest part of the green and avoid trying to be too clever. This is a hole where disciplined players can gain ground. Par is a very good result, and birdie is available to those who combine courage with control.
