I love the 17th at Sawgrass and I watch every golfer intently on that hole from my easy chair during this yearly gut-check for pros. I'm sorry for some and happy for others as I witness the successes and disappointments that this hole provides. I keep saying that "I could do that with my 8 iron in a heartbeat" but fully knowing that I'd be a huge bundle of nerves standing over that tee shot. Every course should have a hole like this! I've played several Dye courses and while sometimes my buddies will suggest a particular hole is unfair or too hard, I just take my double bogey and smile all the way to the next tee. Always an interesting round with Pete Dye. Congratulations Pete Dye for induction into the WGHoF!
