This is a picture taken from the tee on no.18 at Scottburgh Golf Course on the Natal south coast in South Africa. I played for our high school team and this was where we played our comps and practiced. This tee shot would scare the crap out of tour pros! It's not the longest par4 in the world but you tee off from a seriously elevated position that feels even higher thanks to the sea in the background. As well as this the landing area isn't visible from the tee and it looks like you're hitting over a jungle, there's OOB all down the left, and to the right of the fairway the rough is deep and slopes severely from left to right. To rub salt in the wound, the prevailing wind is a SW and that blows HARD from right to left. If any of you have pictures of similarly intimidating tee shots then please post them here.
