yey! i got the last one.  Ok this one could be easy but then again it could not be.  If you see this as being WAY too easy, then i give you an extra challenge - tell me EXACTLY what it is (you will know what i mean if you know what it is in general).

Some sort of plaque? Oh, oh, I know.. its a sign!

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

ok - so it's a sign, but that isnt enough - it is a special kind of sign - think about what is written on it...

I think Dovid was being sarcastic. ;o] We know it is a sign, but aside from that things get tough. To me it looks like on of those with distances to various locations, but I have no idea what it would be in jolly 'ol England...

ok, I'm guessing it's a sign on a golf course (St. Andrews ?) I have no idea what mts stands for but it's 326 of those to the 17th green. ???

Well, I can get pieces, but not the whole puzzle. I think it's a plaque at the R&A commemorating Old Tom Morris, who won the first Open. But 326 wasn't his score, it was the highest winning score, by JH Taylor, in 1896. And his winning margin wasn't 17 strokes, since the highest winning margin was 11 strokes.

How about 326 meters to the next green. In the US the holes are ranked in difficulty from 1 to 18, so might this be the 17th most difficult hole on the course?

Attached Link: The 18th at St Andrews

Cosine has it - well almost.  I was looking for which hole - the stroke index of 17 and the fact that this hole is actually called Tom Morris points to it being... well the 18th Hole of St Andrews Old Course 😉 This is the "Medal Tee" plaque where all the pros shoot from :)

Check the link :)

All yours Cosine as you were the closest imo :)

Wow, some good guesses and a little Googling on my part paid off. :-)

I'm just getting up, and on my way to work. I'll dig through my pics tonight and see if I can come up with something diabolical.

Good investigative work, Cosine! I'm looking forward to see what diabolical WOE you'll come up with!  Wow, could it be more so than this one was? LOL
