The 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is one of the most notorious in the game, with over a million balls said to have found the water from hapless players hoping to reach the island green since the venue opened in 1980.
Professionals also regularly come a cropper there, with hundreds more balls ending up at the bottom of the lake rather than the green over the years at The Players Championship. However, surely no one can fare worse than Angelo Spagnolo, who found fame in 1985 after his efforts at the 17th led to him being crowned "America’s Worst Avid Golfer."
