Videos: Muirfield's 13th And 14th

One of my favorite one-shotters on the planet is a Tom Simpson redesign of H.S. Colt's hole and it is the centerpiece of a Golf World story I filed on uphill par-3s. A 191-yard new tee extends the hole and changes the angle in an unfortunate way, but this is still one of the world's most fascinating, beautiful and rewarding par-3s.

And from the green looking back:

The 14th plays from an elevated tee and there is huge incentive to get past the last fairway bunker 300 yards from the tee, which has been extended to 476 yards. Avoiding that bunker opens up a pretty simple second shot to a receptive green.
