[simmsy]

Check this out, it's a Par 3 from a course in Sth Africa.
$1million up for grabs for a hole in one.

Yeah I've seen that one before. Padraig Harrington was the first person to ever record a par on it. :)

I wonder how many people actually play it from the top tee?

It costs plenty for the helicopter ride up so I'm sure that not everyone plays it from the very back.

What if your a traditionalist and would rather walk.......... :)

It is additional to the 18 holes course, which features one hole each designed by 18 Tour players.

Post round, players can pay - and I think it's US$500-1000 - to play the "Africa" hole, complete with helicopter ride to and from the tee.

You'd hate to get up there and have had the wind change and be stuck with the wrong club :lol:

Ha!

Also, bugger going to the top tee, if pro's can only just get there with driver

[zigwah]

Too bad if you hit it fat and have to climb half way down for ur second!

[markTHEblake]

Too bad if you swing like Gary Player!

[jaybam]

easy hole.

[ParMaster]

You wouldn't want to play up there when it's windy.

Imagine if there was a rockslide. ;)
