What Is q test Of a golf hole?
sProper length, proper trapping and
Q green built for the shot," we'd
say. But this does not mean that
any par three hole shall be full
drive and then some. Two oneshot
holes at oakmont stood out above
all others we have seen, as the most
ssvefe short holes. When one looks
back upon the topography, their
length and severity, one no longer
wonders why the scores rose well up
above the 800 mark.
Let us take the eighth hole as
one particular instance. The
player stands at she tee with
253 yards before him to be

par.
That is full drive foR 1t is a GER
3ainty that he will get no run on his
ball when it strikes the green-as-
eutnirg, Of course, that he hits his
drives that far. There is no drop in
the ground to help him. It's level
