I would like to try this shot! An 830 yard par 3.

Hmm, looks like an 8 iron. :heh

An expensive round I'd think once you factor in the "cart" rental.

It's about the same as Pebble Beach but the airfare to get there ... ouch!

It must be the only 800 yard par 3 in the world.

Yes an 8 iron, right after a driver, and then two wedge shots and 3 or 4 putts and I'm in.

Wrong club choice - it's a little longer than that.

830 meters is 907.6 yards, you dropped it a little short.

This is the most Extreme.

"Horrible news from Japan: A 38-year-old woman from Sapporo died yesterday after falling into a sink hole that suddenly opened up when she was playing golf with her husband and two children. The golf course is located in Abira, a small town in Hokkaido, Northern Japan.

According to Japanese media reports, the woman was walking down a fairway when the ground caved in at around 2.30pm local time. She plunged into a hole about 1.5 meters wide and 5 meters deep. Firefighters found her lying face down on the water-filled bottom of the hole but couldn’t help her anymore.

The golf course management claimed in a first reaction it has never experienced anything like this before. Now the Japanese police are investigating the cause of the hollow space’s appearance."
