Golf historians know well how this hole has influenced the outcome of more than one major championship contested on the Lower Course of Baltusrol. Like a book, the 4th (a seemingly meek 17 handicap on the scorecard) cannot be judged by its cover. Those who do can - and often do - suffer greatly.
Since 1922, this gorgeous par 3 is straightforward but is guarded its entire length and breadth by a pond that has swallowed the hopes of many golfers. An early ruin to a promising score or dashed late round aspirations in major championships are quite common, as designer A.W. Tillinghast surely intended.
The putting surface is rather large, but a tee ball that does not hold the surface risks bounding over mounds or into traps. Recovery shots not precisely and gingerly struck face double jeopardy in the pond. The 4th is close enough to those watching from the famous clubhouse, so the golfer may not share their agony alone.
The Stonehouse Collection offers many of the world's top championship and destination courses. They present panoramic images that capture the essence and beauty of golf from the perspective of the golfer. These prized collectibles are perfect for your home or office walls, or as a gift. Each lithograph features special touches not usually associated with photography, and the results are superb.
