TL,
To answer your original question (fairway placement contour to green placement contours), here's my lineup (minus the one shot holes) and this for the professionals/cracks - unless the rest of us are playing a gentler<6500 tee...
1. Not too much regarding contour, like #5, the demand is to get up to the flat, as close to the right fairway bunker as possible. this is the best general opening to the maximum amount of green regardless of placement.
2. The sheer breadth of the green is balanced by 3/4 of the fields ability to reach it in two, however the left-to-right slope of fairway as it nears the front left bunker makes you really not want to be there for a short pitch.
3. Well-discussed, my favorite two shot hole at ANGC
5. See #1
7. In the 350 yard and 410 yard versions of the hole and the post Maxwell green, the side really mattered as you wouldn't want to be near the left part of the fairway, which has some swells and waves, unless the pin was on the right. Now, even those these boys can tackle it, I think just hitting the fairway is the goal...right side is flatter though.
8. For the big boys its grip and rip off the tee, the closer to the fairway bunker the better, for both angle and quality of lie. As we have seen and some of us have experienced in person, you know that you should not be along the left side with your second. Not only do you receive a more blind shot, but it's nearly impossible to judge your 50-100 distance with those massive guardian shoulders that frame the green surfaces. Many of the Augusta greens are marvels and this one is in that category as the surface twists away from the slightest cape of the green leftwards.
9. Again, for pros, it's a a glance at the pin sheet. If the pin is on the middle or back shelf it's a bomb down to the flats 20-40 yards before the tournament crosswalk - nothing to see. If the pin is up, they often go to a 3 wood that ends up right side and a little shorter. Though that area can produce a slicey, hanging lie, they seem to utilize those features to deaden the ball a little bit and get it spinning to the side.
10. Can't be a more dramatic impact on an approach shot than NOT pocketing that draw shot into the "slot" of that fairway. That area still has a downhill lie and is one of the reasons (besides the plane and speed of the green) the shot is so difficult, even when it's less than 175. but if you miss it, everything is 190+ off a hanging lie.
11. This has lengthened and changed so much I don't know what the new terrain looks like. In the shorter versions of the hole there were a few wavy mounds and a general crown off to the left rough. Sometimes driving too far gave a short but "fiddly" downhill lie 8-iron. but I think that's almost all gone now, those strategy demands.
13. Like 15, if you're not on in two the only decent short position for a third is on the low left of the fairway. The contours of this green don't put quite so much the necessity of the left side as 15 does, but the sharpness of the fairway on the top right side leading to Rae's creek make shots a little scary
14. The entire fairway cants to the right rough (1st version of course had a bunker there - now its the only bunker-less hole) and is a little sharper, slicey on that portion of fairway, but worth it as you are playing into a green that flows hard to the same side (once you've navigated distance control). The left part of the fairway is nearly level but the angles to middle and left side pins are defended with greater force if you come from there. Books could be and should be written about this green.
15. See #13 - but an interesting note here is the beautiful balance and shot demands of Augusta's four Par 5s. They are each reachable but the lie you receive when you hit a longer tee shot is often awkward unless you hit a perfect shot....#2, downhill lie insinuating slice, #8 uphill lie insinuating a hook, #13 - ball above your feet, #15 downhill lie with a slight hook bias an over the greatest body of water.
#17 - Very flat if you bust it fully over the fairway crest past IKE's tree. Then it's on your distance control and spin to the particular pin location.
#18 - At the 405 and 430 distance those hummock mounds inside 110 yards used to do some odd things, but they are seldom in play now and the entire ball of wax, once in the fairway, is judging distance from an uphill lie to an uphill target. There is a bit of slice in that shot too, but it's not like you can play to avoid that feature, so its non-strategic in my mind.
cheers
