TPC Scottsdale – 16th Hole

Yesterday afternoon, I spent a few hours taking advantage of the weather and my TPC of Scottsdale membership.

After getting done on the range, I made my way over to the infamous 16th hole with camera in-tote and happened upon a foursome readying to tee off.

“This is the 16th hole”, a member of the group asked the caddy as he compared the photo on the scorecard with the 16th hole that lay in-front of him.

As this hole, while beautiful in it’s own right, is but a shell of its former-self without Golf’s version of the Colosseum as it’s surround.

A few of my favorites moments from the 2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open and the 16th hole where PGA Pro’s compete as gladiators and vie for crowd approval.
