I couldn't find it in the course review list so I guess it's not well known outside the southeastern US. Normally wouldn't travel that far for golf but I booked a great twilight deal on GolfNow.

Is walking allowed? I usually cartball with my fivesome, plus we need a cart cooler to store our craft beers.

I've seen a few aerial photos, looks like a heavy tree planting could take this track to the next level.

 ;D   ;)

It's cart path only next week - I think there's a tournament coming up. I know that's a pain but they have short evergreens 150 yards out for yardage. Good food at the turn I've heard.

I hear they've veered greatly from the original intent, have let trees grow and impinge play, lengthened it excessively to protect par and run the greens at speeds that make you expect a clowns head to pop out at any moment. Perhaps interesting from an academic, historical and sociological perspective...

I heard Joe Bausch is playing with you and he's taking photos that the club is using for the masters program this year! ;D

If you find that every putt doesn't break towards Rae's Creek I'm really going to feel lied to.

How do you and others account for the fact that in virtually every early photograph of Augusta National the planting of a multitude of pine trees is obvious?  I can't help but wonder if the "original intent" all along was to plant trees in abundance.  Surely not.

When were green cellophane wrappers for the pimento cheese sandwiches instituted?  Was this the idea of Bobby Jones, Clifford Roberts or MacKenzie?

watch out for the artifical turf installed in the landing area on 9. the pros and press r prohibited from talking about it
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
