THE
THE ROAD HOLE – THE OLD COURSE
Possibly the most demanding hole in all of golf, the Road Hole, a 495-yard
par 4, begins with a blind tee shot over a building that houses some of the
hotel’s workers. Players are advised to drive over the “O” in “Hotel” on the
building’s sign—reading “Old Course Hotel”—to clear the dogleg.
Unfortunately, for players, the tee shot is just the beginning of their ordeal
and the mishaps that ensue are legendary. But taking your lumps at The
Road Hole is one of golf’s rites of passage. And every golfer includes it on
their “must play” list.

Making sure you’re properly stocked with the right provisions while attending an outdoor sporting event is
crucial. But deciding on what to put in your picnic basket can be vexing. We’ve found that, to help us narrow
things down, it’s fun to ll a basket with wines and cheeses that all come from a certain country or region.

9. The Louisiana
C r aw f i s h B o i l .
Another great backyard affair is the
crawfish boil. There’s something about
it that puts a smile on everyone’s face.
Maybe it’s the spices. In Louisiana,
they like their crawfish spicy, and
we mean spicy. And while you’re at
it, pop in a zydeco CD to add to the
Cajun atmosphere. Like Justin Wilson,
the celebrity Cajun chef used to say,
we “gar-on-tee” a good time.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
(Be sure to ask your supplier for
“purged” crawfish. Just trust us.)
HOW TO DO IT:

F l av o r
SET YOUR GUEST LIST. IT’S TIME TO PLAN YOUR SUMMER PARTY.
You look the part. But can you cook the part? Throwing an authentic regional bash full
of summer flavor is something your friends will look forward to as much as the first
cannonball off the dock. And seafood suppliers will ship next-day, coast-to-coast, so
having a crawfish boil in Boston or a crab feast in Los Angeles is more than doable. 9
