[Matthew Mollica]

This recent exchange in another thread got me thinking...

I'm reminded of the relativiely short 3rd at Augusta National.  The divot patterns alone told me all I needed to know about the dreaded "hi-tech obsoletion" of every golf course.  That hole is a good lesson in how to mitigate technology.  Give these guys a reason to not hit driver, and they won't. 

And what then happens to every other golfer when you introduce extraordinary defensive measures ?

Patrick, are you suggesting the 3rd green at ANGC is an extraordinary defensive measure?

Yes, and the defenses aren't confined to the green

For Pat and all GCAers who have played Augusta National - what are the extraordinary defensive measures found on that hole?

And what are some examples of such design features on some great courses?

Matthew,

A firm/fast, shallow, steeply sloped green that sits well above the fronting fairway, with a deep bunker left, from a fairway that generally slopes from high right to low left, promoting a pull or hook.

Yardage doesn't tell the entire story on this hole
