The Genius Trick of Augusta National's 12th Hole | The Game Plan | Golf Digest

Winners take risks imo.

I played it a few times over the years, only a handful of those times was the pin at the right and there was no way I was going anywhere near it! Unless you see it in person or actually play the hole you have no idea how silly it is to chase that right side.

It would've been interesting to see the shot dispersion if they hit a draw.

this guy's voice is awful

I used my gps program to determine that, in 2019, Molinari, Koepka, Finau, and Poulter all hit their balls within 4 yards of the same distance that Tiger did. Also don't forget that McKenzie came to golf design as a master camouflage designer for the Brits in WW1.

Brilliant

I hate golf. But the strategy presented here is interesting and shares some same concepts with competitive target shooting.

Wouldn't a right hander drawing the ball have the same dispersion pattern of a lefty fading it?

What about those that hit a draw?

okay but hear me out... what if a right handed player just hits a draw? lol I love this hole and the breakdown was really nice.

There should be water on the left side aswell. Makes it more difficult, which can change the game during the tournament.

Solution, be a lefty.

I would aim for the back left bunker and play my natural fade..

Wow 😮👍🏾

What is the deal with that horrible accent?

You watch gold to help put yourself to sleep.

Great video. I just had a new idea about golf strategy. As an avid golfer for 20 years it's been a while since i've had a truly novel idea. Thanks for the inspiration

i'd hit it

Your narrator is too posh.

One of the greats used to say "If I am near the 12 hole after my tee shot on sunday, I pushed it."

Incredible Content! More Please!!

This video barely mentioned the swirling winds caused by the intersection of two separate wind paths over the course. They meet near the 12th and make the hole what it is.

No

Why not hit a draw?

Raymond faded it right between the bunkers today lol

If you can hit the left side of the green on command you can hit the right side on command too.

A square clulb face wins this hole every time...

Everyone believes the smart play is center of the green but they are wrong. Laying up and putting over the Hogan Bridge is much safer.

Good !

Mind boggling. Please more and more and more of this content.

Jesus that's a great video

As a lefty I’ll make sure I attack that pin next time I play there 😂😂

Love the saying " The Masters doesnt start until the back 9 Sunday" I actually enjoy watching the mis-calculations on 12 yearly.

faders dont win championships on a regular basis

Wow, amazing video and information. Will definitely enjoy watching the Masters even more now . Thank you!

Sounds like a cheap imitation of George Plimpton speaking

I knew next to nothing of golf... Now I know a little bit more. Thank you!

I love this stuff. I will never look at the 12th hole the same again after watching this.

Amazing video

Why not play a draw (for rightys)? It would seem like the dispersion pattern would be more favorable, as shown by the lefty fade dispersion pattern.

Righties... hit a high draw??

I don't even watch or play golf and I couldn't stop watching this video.

Very interesting - thank you so much!

What if I’m a lefty

That was fascinating! Great analysis for mortals. Thank you.

Never considered that about dispersion patterns. Cool vid!

Great plan…. Til ya get there and look at it! Than say “I got this”….. kerplunk

"Every Masters, someone tries to chase it" - Greg Norman, 1996. Faldo put it in the middle of the green.

Perfect video. I guess I like golf now?
