Pink Dogwood
Par 5, 575 Yards
Original Intent:
"Although this is the longest hole on the course, a well-hit tee shot will take a good run down the fairway as it slopes over the hill. It was one of our guiding principles in building the Augusta National that even our par 5s should be reachable by two excellent shots."
- Bobby Jones, in Sports Illustrated, April 6, 1959
Significant Changes:
- Fairway bunker shifted to right, 1999
- Tee moved back 20-25 yards, 1999
Did It Work?
Nothing has changed. Big hitters can still reach this hole in two shots, and anyone who walks away without birdie feels as if he lost a shot to the field.
