A golfers nightmare, "The Cauldron", a short par 3 at Stan Thompson's Banff Springs Golf Course. Although "The Cauldron" itself is intimidating, especially on a cool morning when the steam rises out of the hot springs pool, and the 6 gaping bunkers that keep your eyes darting about while you are trying to focus on your target the ever shrinking green are distracting, the most difficult aspect of the hole to fathom is the correct distance. This photo was taken 150 yards from the center of the green. One of my playing partners decided the marker had to be incorrect and launched a well struck 3 wood into the towering pines behind the green complex with the ball still climbing when it reached the tree line. He did "recover" to make a nice triple bogey six.
