Hole 16
Par 3, 170 Yards
The fairway is all water. The green has a little neck at the back of the green that sticks out to the left into the water. When the pin is there, it takes a desparate golfer to shoot for it.

How Jack Nicklaus plays this hole
1. It's one of the holes on the golf course where you can normally take a pretty good run at the pin because you have the safety of the front of the green.
2. If the pin's in the front-right, you're going to play a little fade. If the pin's in the back-center, you hit it fairly straight. If the pin's in the back-left, you hit a hook off the center of the green.
Historical Note
Nicklaus made a 40-foot putt on this hole to help him win the 1975 Masters.
