The Pros will handle it. They play a game which is virtually unknown to the rest of us.
“They play a game which is virtually unknown to the rest of us.”
Not sure on that as it won’t be this time. With the conditions, they will have to play our game a little more. The game this year at Augusta is going to be more like what we face with no rolls and different winds. And hurricane and tropical storm season doesn’t end until late November so there may be a lot of wet out there. The winds are part of why many don’t play in Hawaii or Texas.
So the normal club selection is going to be a chess match rather than a muscle game. Thus the bombers will have to compete with the straighters rather than the other way around.
The course will still be around 7500 yards, but their will be far less challenging of par 5’s and position will be the practice rather than the challenge of length. I don’t know about the irons, but you’ll see a lot more hybrids and 4/5 woods. Many pros don’t even carry anything in the bag below 4 iron and carry extra wedges. These wedges may not be needed this year as much as they won’t be attacking the fairways to the last part of the landing zones and are going to have to come in with something a little bigger. They’ll be throwing lawn darts from the neighbor’s yard.
