It's been a while, I know. When things get busy, blog posts grow thin.
Anyway, thought I'd share what I believe are the five-most difficult golf courses I have played. Some courses are tougher to some people, depending on their game. Some places are easier. Anyway, here are my five-toughest:
1. TPC Sawgrass: It's kind of a no-brainer. Where there isn't sand, there's water. Where there isn't water, there's sand. Most greens are protected well, making approach shots difficult. It's supposed to be tough, otherwise the PGA wouldn't play there, right?
2. Legacy Golf Club (Sarasota, Fla.): Arnold Palmer designed this water-happy joint, so you know it's gotta be hard. It has an island green and an island fairway. Many approaches are treacherous.
3. Callahan Golf Links (Waleska, Ga.): Never heard of it, huh? This course in the Georgia mountains combines hilly terrain with a Scottish link flair. The rough is deep and the course is tight.
4. Moore's Mill, Auburn: Some places are tougher, but Moore's Mill is a shot-makers course. I am not a shot-maker. This place requires finesse for proper navigation, or you are punished with hazards. I lack finesse, or power for that matter.
5. Auburn University Club: Long course. Undulating greens. This place can beat you up. Hard to believe I shot a 91 here. Very lucky because this place can tear you apart.
Honorable mention: LPGA International (Champions Course), Daytona Beach; Bull Creek, Columbus, Ga.; Oxmoor Valley (Ridge Course), Birmingham; Grand National (Links or Lake Course, either one)
