The 10th hole at Winged Foot Golf Club's West Course is a daunting challenge, with a green nestled just 40 yards from a nearby house, earning Ben Hogan's colorful description. A front flagstick position demands an accurate approach, as shots can easily find the side bunkers, requiring a delicate bunker shot to a narrow green. The green itself is sharply inclined and tapers from back to front, making a back-left flagstick placement accessible only with a high draw. This hole demands precision and strategy, testing golfers' ability to navigate a challenging approach and green complex.
