I'm out here reporting live from the Five and Dime hole on this beautiful opening day of the 94th Met Open at Ridgewood Country Club. This hole plays as the fifth on the championship course layout and is a 291-yard par 4. Today, the hole is featuring a front hole location on the narrow, two-tiered green. Players have been choosing to lay-up thus far, using the ridge behind the hole as a backstop for their shots, allowing the ball to track back down to the hole.
(Five and Dime was coined by Byron Nelson as players only needed a five-iron and a 10-wedge to get to the green. 10-wedge is the equivalent of a pitching wedge).
