After following and playing this great game for over forty years I guess I must have missed something. Reading an article by a golf sports writer who states Augusta National is " the greatest course in the world " and also regarding the par 3 12th. at the same course states it's " the greatest par 3 in the world ", yeah I must have missed something.
It certainly is a beautiful golf course and the Masters is an outstanding major golf tournament. This particular golf writer was taking into account the degree of difficulty when I come to " greatest ", I for one would disagree. One course that comes to mind is Carnoustie in Scotland, I would suggest that when this course is set up for the " Open " and the wind is whipping in off the sea without a doubt would play a lot more difficult than Augusta.
When it comes to short par 3's lets stay in Scotland for the moment, according to Tiger Woods the " Postage Stamp " ( the 8th. at Royal Troon ) is " the toughest short par 3 you will find anywhere ". I guess the golf writer has very limited vision, limited to a map of the U.S.A. only.
