Thirteen is the only tee shot on the course that demands a right-to-left ball flight. The greens on 1, 2, 3 (lesser extent due to its length), 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 17, and 18 don't hold a draw very well. |
A high fade is a soft shot, but the preferred shot at Augusta is a high draw of the tee.
You can't draw it off 11 anymore, they added more trees down the left to keep from cutting the corner, you have to fade it off that tee, draw it to the green.
Alot of the par 4's you don't really have to work it, with the hills you get length either way and their somewhat straight away.
But the greens there are so receptive, because they are infact perfect, that you can hold them working it either way. It's pretty nuts actually, we watched some guys fade it to a left pin because of the slope, which is bassakwards, but there are so many side boards and slopes that it's mostly coarse knowledge.
