Überfahrt is German for the crossing, and that is the whole hole. 165 yards from a tee cut into the high ground, out over six lanes of autobahn sitting in its cutting, to a green with one bunker on the ground the other side. The only way to follow your ball is the steel footbridge on the left, up the zigzag steps, over the traffic and down again, which is a long walk to find out you were short. Everything about the shot is ordinary except what is underneath it. A thinned six iron does not finish in the rough here. It finishes somewhere in the outside lane at 200 kilometres an hour, and you will hear about it. That is what gets into your head. You know the number, you have hit a thousand six irons, and then something comes past below you and suddenly you are steering it instead of swinging. It is the simplest shot on the course and it plays like the hardest. Pick the club for the yardage, not for the noise.
This hole is not real. Like every hole in the collection it was conjured with AI, a golf daydream rather than a course you can go and play. The thousands of courses in the Golf Handicapp app, however, are very real.
This one is make-believe. The thousands of courses in the app are not.
