| Donald Ross once wrote, "The first hole of a golf course should not be too difficult -- give the player a chance to warm up a bit." He must have made that quote after designing the first hole at Belmont.
There is plenty of room to drive the ball; a ball played down the right side of the fairway will tend to travel farther. A long iron played into the center of the green must be struck solid to have a chance at hitting this generous green. |
