That would be hole #10 (Toms Tunnel). Awful hole. I think it's ~550ft.

I completely understand ads in a free game. But does there have to be a video ad after every.single.hole? Seems like a bit much.

VQ is at least a 4-disc rating. No way it's a 5, though. Fake or not, over time, the reviews will accurately represent VQ, I think.

EDIT: It's probably more accurate to say the Majestic is the biggest overall, but in some recent years CCO has edged it out.

Minnesota Majestic has the long history, but Cedar Creek Open is the biggest these days.

Those holes have appropriate drop zones that prevent tin cupping. They also have large, safe landing zones if you don't want to go for the green off the tee and you can choose to go after the safe par 3. :doh:

This is where our personal tastes differ and we can agree to disagree. I don't like holes with that much power to ruin a round. 1/18th of your round shouldn't hold much more weight than 1/18th of your round. If all goes well, I'll be aiding design of a course next year and I can assure you...

Hole #9 (elevated basket) I don't like for golf. I think it's fun to play in league or with my buddies, but if my putter is under the basket on the low side, you have a very slim chance of making it. To me, it's like a ball golf hole that has a putt-putt type of green. Fun? Yes. But, as is...

This course shouldn't be anywhere near the discussion for the best in the world. Nor top 10. I've played it a few times and I'd give it a 4-star rating. IMO, every par 4 on this course is bad golf, with the middle part of the "fairway" being luck. There are also a couple of the par 3's that...

Our "WOO"s can be interpreted as howling, I guess.

This is the best answer I've heard.

I have no issues with it and I'm always a good sport. I just find it strange. Chuck, has it always been this way?

This has always blown my mind. You're on the tee box of your final hole in a tournament round and your group comes in for the "nice round" and high-fives. Why do we do this? I played a lot of different sports growing up, team and individual, and in NONE of them do teams/players do this before...

Anybody know what time the Smashboxx stream starts today? It's continually counting down from 10 minutes... such a tease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fLHWBwmk4I

Cool. I have no objection to that.
