| Abstract/Contents: | Explores the changes made to Augusta National Golf Club since 1933 with the ultimate goal of keeping the Masters Tournament site "current with the times." Details changes made ranging from the addition of yardage to new hole locations. Explains that the changes were in reaction to a significant increase in distance achieved by the game's most skilled players. Continues that "in the 13 tournaments between '83 [1983] and 1995, the 10 most difficult courses only five times." Includes the alterations made in 2002 in order to "Tiger-proof" the course. Compares the difficulty of holes before and after the alterations made in 2002. Gives examples of what players scored on certain holes following the 2002 renovation. |
