Augusta National Golf Club Hole by Hole - 6th Hole

Hole 6 at Augusta National Golf Club is a par 3, measuring 180 yards from the championship tees. The green area measures 9028 sq ft and there is one greenside bunker that covers 3% of the total green. While this hole can be approached with a mid-iron for most golfers, local weather conditions should be taken into account when selecting a club off the tee. During summer months, altitude and temperature can lead to increased ball flight distances while winter months may require more club due to lower temperatures and increased wind speeds. For example, if playing in autumn or spring months where temperatures are milder than summer but higher than winter, an 8 iron would likely suffice for most players looking to hit their target on this hole. Additionally, since it has no water hazards or out of bounds areas surrounding it, players have ample room to miss left or right of the green without penalty strokes being added onto their scorecard.
