A Hyno Designs production - Carnage at Carnoustie
CARNOUSTIE Carnoustie, Scotland (UK)
They call it "CarNASTY" or "The Bear". Its long. Its narrow. Its slippery. Its subject to strong winds and horizontal rain. Its not fair. It can be your worst nightmare, right Jean Van de Velde?
The great challenge at Carnoustie is the ever changing nature of the course. There is no such thing as an easy hole at Carnoustie, and the most difficult are among the fiercest to be found anywhere. With the wind against, a stream known as Jockies Burn comes into play on four of the first six holes, the infamous Barry Burn giving the course its famous finish.
I think the mistake was the tee shot even though jean got away with it. The greats, especially Nicklaus, would DEFINITELY have hit a 3 4 or 5 iron, played for a 5, and would have won with ease, style and dignity.
