Reading about The Open Championship at St. Andrews, they said that the Road Hole requires a tee shot over the sign for the Old Course Hotel. Quote: "That changed sometime in the mid-1880s. Now with a billboard for the Old Course Hotel on the building’s facing wall, both pros and duffers alike are advised by caddies to aim over the second “O” with their tee shots."
That I had to see. A picture of the hole is shown above.
Here's the view from the tee. You can see the billboard on the hotel.
OK, that's just crazy. I've got to watch this tournament more closely this weekend.
