I seem to recall something from AimPoint that grass doesn't always grow towards water. I'm sick of hearing Faldo talk about Rae's creek!!!!

Creeks run through the lowest points on a given piece of land. When people talk about bodies of water influencing putts and breaks I believe they are simply noting that the overall slope of the land is sloped towards the place where the water is. Some greens look flat but if you remember that the green is situated on a prevailing slope you can sometimes predict slightly more or less break than appears to your eyes when viewing the microcosm.

I think Mark said that only two greens break towards Rae's Creek. 12 is one of them. If you think about it, 11 breaks to the pond, not to Rae's Creek... :-P

Yes, and on Twitter Mark mentioned specific putts than when the golfer putted them....they broke away from Rae's Creek.

Keep it simple.
They break downhill.
That's all that matters.
If you can't figure out what is up hill or down hill you've bigger problems.
