I have a poll question for those who've been to Bethpage. As you may recall the finisher at the Black isn't very strong while the neighboring finisher on the Red is a beauty.
What hole would you rather see used as the finishing hole at Bethpage Black, 18 on the Black or 18 on the Red? (The 18th on Red is right next to the 18th on the Black and is a long, uphill par-4). Keep in mind historical context and the many dynamics involved with playing a different hole from a different course (mostly political). Would you do it?**
**Poll should now be working.
