A quarter scale replica of the 17th hole at Sawgrass has been constructed in New York City's Rockefeller Center and will be there through the weekend. On a coffee break, golfers can come down from their skyscrapers and hit a shot to the island green and watch a live telecast of the tournament on a big screen. If you're not good enough to hit the green, instructors from the Tour Academy at TPC Sawgrass will be on hand to give tips.  What better place to hype The Players Championship than The Big Apple? 

The metaphor is airtight. It's bringing the little island to the big island. Putting the little apple in the big apple. Let's put the little apple island on the big apple island. Not even the brain power of all of the advertising and public relations agencies in New York City could craft such a brilliant marketing campaign. It's just too perfect. Mayor Bloomberg's swing (above), on the other hand.... not so perfect.

Check out the ASAP video here.

Has any of our NYC readers had a chance at this par 3? Let us know in the comments below.
