Everybody's got at least one hole they've played that absolutely gives them fits time and again. What's yours?
Mine has always been #18 at Fox Run, one of my three home courses. 542 yards from the back tees, 518 from the ones I usually play. You tee off across a valley to the fairway which runs from 200-300 yards out, a slight dogleg right and some trees near the corner, somewhat uphill so it plays a bit longer. The trees aren't worrying about - they aren't high enough, although they probably will be in about five more years.
Thing is, as the scorecard shows, a solid drive will put you within 3-wood range of the green - a 240+ carry over water, and it's got four bunkers guarding it.

I've been a member there since I was 17 - and believe me, I've had more than my share of Tin Cup moments with this hole. It's ruined a LOT of rounds.
