I've never fallen forward while hitting a golf shot. I don't have a fear of heights. But playing this hole would scare the s*** out of me. I don't even like hitting off the upper levels at driving ranges hahaha. I would man up and play this hole though. Just what happens if your club slips out of your hands hahaha.

i would definitely play it if i got to slide down or zipline down like someone else said on here. i don't know about the money but if it was free i would play it. i have a question though. it's 220 for the round plus the 19th but what if you want to just play the 19th?

Mmm I have and I do, so no, Fugeddaboudit.

My Grandma used to live near the edge of a cliff like that. Houses at the edge fell into the sea over the years as erosion crumbled the cliff edge. Used to go up to the edge now and then to look over. Scary as heck. They closed the street.

Cool novelty hole.

I'd enjoy it after the round was through.....have a few drinks at a tiki bar and then go up for the grand finale the 900 yard par 3.

Why the drinks you ask.....because I'm not real fond of flying....at all.

I've done the jungle canopy tour in Costa Rica. It was about 20 different ziplines ranging for 75 ft to over 1200 ft. This one however would take the cake. just check out the first You tube video.

the hole looks fun! and i'm assuming since they hit drivers, I'd definitely be hitting driver as well. and as far as the chopper ride down...I'd only do it if they gave me a ride in South Africas premier attack helicopter the Denel AH2

does anyone else see a frog with a top hat. the little crease thing with the red straps is its mouth the two engine things are the eyes and then the thing leading up to the propeller is the top hat.

don't lose your balance.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

If you can afford to go on a golf resort vacation in South Africa you'll be more likely to shell out a grand for this experience (albeit I surely wouldn't). Remember it includes a good amount of time in a helicopter sight-seeing.

That being said I'm glad you liked it.

Also my first thought was holy cow I wonder what kind of ball mark you'd leave if you hit the green...

    • I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
    • With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.
    • So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

    • Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
