      but 10 was almost 80 yards shorter, and just beyond the big bunker. and as noted, 11 wasn't even 400 yards.

      IMO it’s the only thing that makes me question the founders.
      How was it not obvious. ?
      And the funny thing is they changed mainly because amen corner doesn’t get enough light in the morning. And Not because it is the greatest back 9 …and it’s not even close.

    I attended the Masters for the first time in 2000. I went to the back of the 11th tee to se what the players faced. I have been back several times since, the latest being 2017. I always go to the back of the tee at 11. It's terrifying. One almost has to pick out a branch to aim at, if not a leaf. It's a very tough hole. Thanks for the review.

    Brilliant historical analysis of the 11th hole, the start of “Amen Corner”.
    So many adjustments and changes over the years, I think they’ve gone overboard.
    It’s better and far more exciting for these great players to play aggressively, rather than defensively. I’d much rather see them going for a birdie, instead of grinding for a par/bogey!

    Great video. Its a shame the changes it has gone through, The wide 'pick-a-side' design was fantastic. Where players would have choices on how they could tackle a hole like this. Ground game using the mounds etc. Now its just 'you need to drive it to exactly this spot, then you need to hit an iron at the right edge of the green, probably miss right and try get up and down'.

      Augusta’s no different, accept that because the first of the Four Majors has been played there every year since 1934, changes in course layout is even more important.

    when they "tiger proofed" the course, the simple minded decision to just go back...and back again was stupid, unimaginative and typical of augusta.
    they should have taken the tee at 455 and gone against the tree line on the right side. 20 yards right.
