exponentially enhances the playing experience when the divider is a mound, ridge or spine.
An internal feature that serves as a divider puts substantive pressure on the golfer's approach, recovery and putts.
Hitting to the appropriate section of the green requires additional planning and skill.
Missing the appropriate section of the green makes two putting far more difficult.
Missing the green creates another set of dilemas depending upon whether or not the golfer has short sided or long sided his miss.
I think of greens like # 8 at Hidden Creek, # 1 at NGLA and the original 18th at Pine Valley as greens that embody this principle.
What other greens have a pronounced mound, ridge or spine within them ?
Why don't we see more of this seemingly simple but highly effective feature ?
