This week's edition of The Hole Picture swings over to Tamarack Golf Club in Naperville, specifically the 196-yard, par-3 17th. I pulled my tee shot into the water during a recent round there, in part because the wind was gusting pretty hard from right to left. The water on the right is tricky, too.
For me, part of what makes the 17th so intriguing are the holes that come before and after it. The 16th is easily the most demanding hole on the course. It's a 456-yard dogleg left with a peninsula fairway. If you've had a hard time with that one, that frustration can linger on 17. No. 18 is no picnic, either, with out of bounds on the left and water on the right on that 388-yard par 4. Take a deep breath before taking on this challenging trio.
