Hog's Back: A fairway which is raised in the center causing balls to roll towards the rough on either side.
Hold: Meaning a green is receptive to shots and discourages balls from rolling or bouncing off.
Hog's Back A ridge of ground or a hole having a ridge on a fairway. Hold To hit the ground and stay in place with little roll or bounce. Hole A 4 1/4" (108 mm) round receptacle in the green - at least 4" (100 mm) deep.
I've tried it (pulled out the Golf Digest from about 10 years ago with the late Mr. Norman on the cover and photos showing his swing) and it seems to work, but I haven't gone whole hog on it.
