Panorama 3

The Old Course - Hole 17

This spherical panorama was taken at Hole 17 of the Old Course. The 17th Hole of the Old Course in St Andrews is also known as the Road Hole and is one of the best-known holes in golf. The Road Hole bunker - which can be seen in this spherical panorama - is basically a treacherous hole where a par would be a great achievement!

The Road Hole bunker is sometimes also called "the Sands of Nakajima," after Japanese golfer Tommy Nakajima. Nakajima was in contention at the 1978 British Open until he hit into the Road bunker and needed four swings to get out of it[1].
