excerpt starts with Tiger and his caddie Mike (Fluff)

Fluff and I walked the few
yards to one of the most
intriguing par-3s, and settings,
in the game. The patrons—I
find it difficult to use that
word for the spectators,
because it doesn’t feel
natural—were gathered in
the thousands behind the tee.
The tee itself seems almost in
a fairway. It’s simply part of
the ground, hardly raised at
all. You look from there across
Rae’s Creek to the twelfth
green, and out of the corner of
your eye you see the thirteenth
tee behind and to the right of the green. Nobody but the players, their
caddies, and walking officials, go there. You’re about to leave a place where
many people gather to a place where only a few people go. The change felt
surreal to me the first time I experienced it during the ’95 Masters, and it’s
the way I have always felt in that corner of the course.

At the same time, the spectators who collect behind the twelfth tee are like
all the people who attend the Masters. There’s not another tournament
where the spectators are so respectful of the players, or where the silence
as you play is so noticeable. The applause was there as I walked to the tee,
and it then stopped just like that as I stepped on the tee and got ready to
play. I had been given a prolonged standing ovation as soon as I started

to walk to the tee, and
acknowledged this with
assorted smiles, waves,
tipping my cap, and then
taking it off. I put my tee in
the ground and placed the
ball on it before standing
on the left side, where Fluff
and I discussed the shot.

There’s so much to the shot. I stood on the

tee, checking the wind. It was hard to believe,
even after playing in the Masters twice, but
it was true that the flags on the eleventh
and twelfth greens often looked like they
were waving in different directions. Or
one would be limp, while the other was
moving at a good clip. You couldn’t
pick a hole where the wind
swirled more than the
twelfth. I played there
with Davis Love in the
final round one year. The
flags on the eleventh and twelfth
were whipping and the wind was
howling. Davis decided to hit six-iron, and

to hit a softie to take spin off the shot. He hit the
shot and the flag at the green just went pfft. It
laid down completely. I looked over at the flag
on the eleventh, and it was still pumping straight
into us. Davis’s ball flew over the bunker and up
