BREAKING NEWS: Joel Conquers The Island Hole at the TPC



For everyone, there are moments that define your life.


On Monday, one of those came in my golf game at the TPC at Sawgrass on the world-famous Island Hole - No. 17.


The first player to boldly take the tee in front of a small crowd of about 10 people on the tee had knocked it stiff, putting it to within in 5 feet.


Now, this was no normal hole location. The hole locations on #16, 17 and 18 were all in the Sunday locations.


So, coming off of a disastrous quadruple-bogey on the 16th, I took the tee box with several friends around the tee - putting me in the eye of the storm on the hardest par-3 in the world of golf.


With that as the background, enjoy the drama unfold as our forecaddie Andy tapes the action.
