Contest #862: irrigation dam near Mashkaf, Pakistan

In our hunt for challenging locations, I came across this interesting spot. Given that only two players found it this week, I think we succeeded in finding a tricky one.

It’s located just north of the village of Mashkaf in central Pakistan. It is an irrigation dam – to the right looking upstream is the overflow with several irrigation ditches on the left side.

Contest #861: the 19th hole at the Legends Golf and Safari Resort, north of Johannesburg, South Africa

The Extrene 19th hole at the Legends Golf and Safari Club, north of Johannesburg, South Africa is one unique hole.

Players are taken up to the tee by helicopter where they tee off on a roughly 400 yard par 3. The drop from tee to green is about 400 yards! A spotter on the ground helps keep track of where the ball goes.
