Here's what Carne's seventeenth looks like from behind the green. A par 4 of 436 yards, it reminds some of the Road Hole at St. Andrews -- the principal differences being that it's longer, tighter, scarier looking, infinitely tougher ... and there's no road. I played this hole more than 500 times during my sabbatical (read the book to find out why). I birdied it just once.
