Golf viewers craving for a flavor of Augusta National really don’t have to wait around a further month for the Masters. All they have to do is tune in to watch the finest female players in the entire world, and they’ll be taken care of to a contact of St. Andrews, Royal Troon, Muirfield Village and Baltusrol as properly.
The LPGA Tour is viewing Golden Ocala Golfing and Equestrian Club this 7 days, found down in Ocala, Fla. northwest of Orlando. The private golf club options 8 duplicate holes of world-renowned golf holes littered during the entire world, like Troon’s ‘Postage Stamp’ par-3 or Augusta National’s par-3 12th.
The replicas start out on Ocala’s 4th, which is intended to come to feel like the Postage Stamp par-3, which has been replicated several times throughout the world, possibly to precise dimension or at minimum in idea. (The 12th at Sebonack Golfing Club is a single of those people that emulates what the Postage Stamp stands for, conceptually.)
Then there’s the 5th at Ocala, which mimics the downhill, about-the-h2o par-4 9th gap at Muirfield Village. Up subsequent is a bunch of ANGC.
The 6th at Ocala is set up like the 16th at Augusta National, a person of the most enjoyable par-3s in the environment, particularly on the 2nd Sunday in April.
The 11th at Ocala is a duplicate of the 12th at Augusta, which tends to speak for alone. When asked about that hole a short while ago, Dustin Johnson stated it “makes your butt pucker.” Here’s what it looked like for Nelly Korda Thursday early morning.
Matching the setup at Amen Corner in Georgia, the 12th hole at Ocala imitates the 13th at Augusta Countrywide, the globe-famous par-5. It will enjoy 494 yards this 7 days, and as Augusta Nationwide Women’s Amateur winner Jennifer Kupcho describes, it’s rather equivalent.
The imitation game continues with a pair of St. Andrews favorites. Ocala’s 13th is setup like St. Andrews’ 17th, the Road Hole. Then the 14th at Ocala is extensive open and mimic’s the handshake opening gap at St. Andrews’ Previous System. At last, the 15th at Ocala is a replica of the around-the-drinking water par-3 4th at Baltusrol’s Reduce course.
In all, that’s 8 of the most recognizable golf holes in the world, all replicated in the identical put, and all on your television set this weekend at the LPGA’s Travel On Championship. For all people stuck indoors, it must induce lots golf jealousy all weekend extended.
