History
Jewel-like beauty, especially from the new elevated tee, number 17 is both pleasing to the eye and deceiving in difficulty. Since the artist of the present uses the paints of the past, much of how you see this hole or any hole, depends on what has happened here in other rounds, but most of all on what happened on the hole you've just played. If you have just won the hole, made a birdie, or can bogey-out for your best score ever, then the beauty of this hole is greatly enhanced.

Requirements
Control. control of the mind-play your own game. Control of the body-take a smooth pass at the ball. Control of your emotions-avoid undo displays of elation for (1) closing out opponent on #16. (2) hitting the green. (3) money. (4) women. (5) beer. (6) all of the above.

Difficulties
Green looks closer than it is from elevated tee. Very hard to ricochet off pilings onto green.
