I always hated cabbage as a child. Only Brussels sprouts could rival it in my league of distaste. Even today the smell of boiled cabbage can make me slightly nauseous – bringing back the memory of pointless hours spent sitting a dinner table picking away at it and being unable to leave until it had all gone. So it should seem only just that my dislike of this cruciferous vegetable extends into golf as well. This is a term that, in a scoring sense at least, is just as foul as the vegetable you’d find on your plate.

Deep trouble

It’s good timing that the US Open is around the corner. We’re going to see a lot of top players knowing just how we all feel when we carve one miles off the fairway. For cabbage is the word given to the deep rough, the thick vegetation that swallows balls whole and refuses to let them out of their vice-like grip. I’m not talking about a bit of semi-rough either or a lie that you could easily escape if you put that 3-wood away and simply took a wedge out of the bag.

Knee deep

No, this is the knee deep stuff. The sort you fire a ball towards and then instantly declare a provisional because you are almost positive you are not going to find it – or are not going to want to. It’s not just your scorecard that can get hurt when your ball disappears into the deep. Phil Mickelson, when practising for the US Open in 2007 at Oakmont, spent so much time trying to acclimatise to the deep stuff that he injured his left wrist doing it.

He played in the tournament, but missed the cut.

Has anyone had a hole in one on a par 4?

There has been one hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA Tour history. That famously came at the 2001 Phoenix Open, when Andrew Magee's tee shot on the 332-yard 17th at TPC Scottsdale fortuitously bounded off Tom Byrum's putter and into the hole for an ace.

There has been one hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA Tour history. That famously came at the 2001 Phoenix Open, when Andrew Magee’s tee shot on the 332-yard 17th at TPC Scottsdale fortuitously bounded off Tom Byrum’s putter and into the hole for an ace. We nearly saw the second par-4 hole-in-one on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship, when Richy Werenski’s tee shot on the 304-yard par-4 14th kicked off the flagstick. No 1 for Werenski and no 2, either, as he missed the 18-foot eagle putt and made a birdie-3. As for Magee, here is the former PGA Tour pro previously talking about his bit of history, with what footage there is of the ace.
