Augusta National Home of the Masters

My never ending attempt to catch a glimpse of my favorite golf course, Augusta National home of the Masters golf tournament.

The best opportunity came near the 4th green. Yes I got a peek. but I had to climb a tree to get it.

One of these days………………………….

  1. I’ve lived in Augusta all my life and never been, last year I got a job and
    have to say the place is a lot bigger than it looks. Can’t wait to work
    this year.

  2. didn’t know that mate, but you can also buy tickets. i looked for this
    years masters and i was quoted £6000 + for 4 days (about $9000) But that
    was flights and hotels etc

  3. I had actually been in Augusta back in 1978 and I stopped at the golf
    course. So I knew it was like Fort Knox. I just can’t believe how difficult
    it is to see any part of the golf course from surrounding streets etc. I’ve
    read that if you play the Augusta municipal course that a hole rubs up
    fairly close to Amen Corner. If I ever get back there, maybe I’ll play the
    muni course and see it that way.

  4. @rich2376 No not even close. it Augusta Country Club that backs up to it.
    Before i moved here i came up form Columbia to see it and could nto believe
    ihow hard it was to see anything. I;m hoping to get an open slot this year
    to be a gallery guard on a hole my fahter in law works on. I love this
    place to and am fortunate to get to attend every practice round.

  5. berkmans road allows a quick glimspe of the 5th fairway. It will soon be
    blocked off,as the national is buying up all the property across the street.

  6. I didn’t know about that. All I know is that you fill out an application, a
    limited number of applications are selected, then you pay for the tickets
    IF you win.

  7. @rich2376 Its not Augusta municipal you have to play the Augusta Country
    Club to see that. You can see Amen corner from one of the holes and vice
    versa. I live about a mile from the course.

  8. A few holes at Augusta Country Club border Amen Corner, and there’s an old
    apartment complex right behind the 13th green. I’ve heard stories of people
    jumping the fence at night, playing a couple of holes in the dark and then
    running away before they got caught. The municipal course, known by locals
    as “The Patch,” is way over by the airport.

  9. “Snuck on”? That place is like Fort Knox! How did you sneak on? When we
    were next to the 4th green there was a drainage pipe that my wife was
    suggesting a crawl through to get to the other side of the fence. I didn’t.

  10. You don’t need a lot of money. You need to win tickets through an
    application process. They’re only $50 for practice rounds and $75 for
    tournaments rounds. But you can’t choose which one you win.
