Don't know if this has been posted before.

1400 feet vertical drop. 30 seconds for tee shot to hit green.

Here

there is a youtube link of harrington playing the hole, but I can't get it to show.

That might be the most rediculous thing I've ever seen. I would be pissed if it was part of the 18 real holes... but as a bonus hole it would be cool.

Not sure if I'll ever be golfing in Africa though anyway.

Not for the amount of money it will probably require to climb into a shady helicoptor and ride up. All to hit one shot....

I actually saw this earlier on another site I visit. I think it said that the cost to play 18 with the bonus 19th hole was $220 american dollars which isnt bad at all if you ask me.

Hit the green after a rain and you'd lose your ball - Bring a shovel.

Actually I believe the hole is 907 yards and hit you hit from a 470 yard elevated tee, I definitely would play it. What club would you hit?

It should be a par 4 with a drop area 40 yards from the hole.

I want a gondola up to the top, and a zip cord down.

then I would play it.

That's awesome and for $220 i would play that for sure.

Side note. A friend of ours has a house on PCH in Laguna Beach, on the beach side. He is about 150 ft above the sand. He has a driving range mat set up right on the edge of the cliff, on a slad of concrete. He'll buy 5000 used range balls and put them in a gravity fed ball hopper right next to the matt. Just lift the gate and balls pour out. Kind fun knocking balls off the cliiff into the ocean. Then we'll spend a couple afternoons with tanks on our backs picking as many as we can find off the ocean floor. We rarely hit long clubs, because recovering the balls would be impossible.

In my bag are

Hibore XLS 22* 3i Hybrid
TA7 irons 3-PW, SW
CG11 60* LW VP #5 putter.

I was thinking the same thing, what the hell would the ball mark look like? Even better question, how do you repair it?

That's an extreme hole if I have ever seen one ... I would play that one in a heartbeat though ...

If I first got the oportunity to play this hole I would definately hit more than one shot, just to see if I could get on the green.

Once you find the right club it may not be impossible. Hitting it far enough and aimed at the green. At some point it will stop moving forward and just fall down against the ground.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
