Take The Emphasis Off The Tee Shots
I 'd like to see the fairways conditioned the way they were in about 2000. Back then, the inside parts of the fairways -- the lines you took when you wanted to be aggressive -- were cut with the grain running away from you. Aesthetically it was better, and it played better, too. Today, they mow so you're hitting into the grain. They've added trees and rough. It's made Augusta a first-shot course, with a huge premium on the driver, length especially. I'd like to see it go back to being a second-shot course, a more traditional one before they changed the mowing pattern.-- Luke Donald
