Sports Illustrated lists the top nine scariest golf course names:
1. Purgatory Golf Club
2. The Devil’s Claw at Whirlwind
3. The Blue Monster at Doral
4. Hell’s Point Golf Club
5. Deep Cliff Golf Course
6. Shark River Golf Course
7. Devil’s Lake Golf Course
8. The Monster Course at Concord
9. Bigfoot Golf & Country Club
My thoughts on the list: Golf course names are, predictably, not that scary. How about these:
- Scariest shot: Long bunker shot with water behind the green.
- Scariest closing hole: Long par four with water right, perhaps.
- Scariest looking golf clubs: Cleveland VAS irons – the ones Corey Pavin used to play. I used them for several years.
