6. 17th hole at The Ridge Club in Sandwich Bobby Orr, who revolutionized the game of hockey, says this par 3 is where he plays most of his golf. The hole plays from 80 to 150 yards. Orr says 'It's a huge green and you're only hitting an easy 8- or hard 9-iron, but you don't know which way the wind is blowing and it's all over the water.' His recommendation: Unless the wind is howling, use an 8- or 9-iron and just aim for the center of the green.
