Out of curiosity, why do players always speak of eliminating the left side when they discuss taking one side of the course out of play? I never hear of people being advised to elimitate the right side of the course with a draw. Is a draw really that much more temperamental than a fade, or is it an idea that simply stuck around because of players like Nicklaus and Hogan?

Fades sit in fairways and on greens.
And I think a lot of good players have really battled a hook.
Once you've hit hooks that are more like circles for a while you never really want to hit one ever again.
...
And I think that if you feel like you're always fighting a hook it stops you from being able to be aggressive. If I feel like I can swing as hard as I want and never have the face really get closed enough to hook it....well....it's a good thing.
