| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the length of the Augusta National golf course, stating that "when Augusta National officials added 155 yards to the course [in 2006] and narrowed several landing areas in the range of 300-plus yards off the tee, everyone knew the layout would play harder." States that "while overall scoring dropped slightly, five holes saw higher scoring averages, four of them among those that had been lengthened the most." Explains that "the addition of a new tee 30 yards back and to the left on the now 530-yard, par-5 15th eliminated the ability of even the longest hitters to drive down the hill and hit short-iron second shots." Also states that "for all the tinkering, the evidence is clear that Augusta National still is very much a bomber's paradise." |
