Videos: Muirfield's 9th And 10th
/The world famous par-5 9th at Muirfield is a bit of a mess these days, with a new back tee on neighboring Renaissance Club ground and the ancient wall demolished to accommodate the new tee needed because of all those stomach crunches by today's golfers.
The Golf Monthly/Strokesaver flyover shows the risk-reward beauty of this hole muted by rough up the left side off the tee, eliminating any flirting with the fairway bunkers to open up the best angle to go for the green in two.
The ancient wall rebuilt to accommodate modern distance:
The optimum view to attack the green after flirting with fairway bunkers...at least in another era. Now it's all rough.
The 10th features fairway bunker and not much else besides length heading into winds from the north.
