Design a TPC Hole! For Real!

The PGA Tour announced a contest today that will allow one lucky person to have a hole of theirs played by about 1000 people per year.

The TOUR is inviting aspiring golf course designers to submit an original, hand-sketched design of the 13th hole on the AT&T Canyons Course [shudder] at TPC San Antonio, which is being designed by renowned architect Pete Dye. Entries will be judged by Dye and PGA TOUR Design Services, Inc. One winner will be selected from all entries received to have his or her design integrated into the project, and will also receive a trip to TPC San Antonio to tour the course with Dye prior to the club's grand opening.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to showcase the TPC San Antonio project through this unique contest," said Dye, who will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, FL in November. "It will be interesting to see the creations and select a winner to spend a day with me on the project site. I always enjoy sharing my thoughts and suggestions with others on golf course design."

Star-divide

Head over to the contest site for more details.

But, the downer is this:

TPC San Antonio will be accessible to private club members and guests of the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa.

The plus side is that you designed a golf hole.  I might just do it for giggles.

hmmm

Pete Dye…TPC…southern Texas….this sounds like it needs to be a long, winding hole with lots of hazards, an INS checkpoint, and stadium seating with a huge video screen next to the green ! :-)
