Let’s see you guess that hole. Yes, we’re talking to you, Mr. Tomasiello.

Don’t forget: we’re having a virtual hangout today at 3 p.m. ET. The one we did two weeks ago was a bit of a technological fiasco, so we’re making it up to you. We’ll talk about the Players and whatever else you, the members, want to discuss. HERE’S THE LINK.

Your Friday question

The Players Championship is always a showcase for the virtues of a nerve-wracking, high-variance 17th hole. (So is, for that matter, any Open Championship at St. Andrews.)

What is your favorite 17th hole in golf? Any type of answer—from famous holes to obscure ones—will be welcome.

Who fuses the music with no illusions producing the blueprints clueless? Well, Pete Dye purportedly didn’t use blueprints, so maybe not him. Thank you, as always, for supporting The Fried Egg.

About the author

Garrett Morrison

When I was 10 or 11 years old, my dad gave me a copy of The World Atlas of Golf. That kick-started my obsession with golf architecture. I read as many books about the subject as I could find, filled a couple of sketch books with plans for imaginary golf courses, and even joined the local junior golf league for a summer so I could get a crack at Alister MacKenzie's Valley Club of Montecito. I ended up pursuing other interests in high school and college, but in my early 30s I moved to Pebble Beach to teach English at a boarding school, and I fell back in love with golf. Soon I connected with Andy Johnson, founder of Fried Egg Golf. Andy offered me a job as Managing Editor in 2019. At the time, the two of us were the only full-time employees. The company has grown tremendously since then, and today I'm thrilled to serve as the Head of Architecture Content. I work with our talented team to produce videos, podcasts, and written work about golf courses and golf architecture.
