How it plays
Switch Blade is your opening drive. Two switch gates, including one with a trap-door, decide where the ball goes, and a dense rock garden stands between you and the cup. Towers lift the run, then single track and box beams stretch the trip. It's the friendliest hole in the series to learn on, so the first round is all about reading the gates.
