If you are like me I am sure you can’t wait to see what Augusta National looks like in the autumn, all those reds and oranges of the tree lined fairways replacing all the colours of the Azaleas in spring. When Bobby Jones purchased this land to build his dream course, it was originally a tree nursery so I am sure that will come shining through on our TV screens.
The other whispered chat around clubhouses is how will Augusta cope with the new power game of Bryson DeChambeau, maybe it’s a blessing that the damper colder air of November will help curtail the distance the ball flies in the air and runs on the fairways, but there is no doubt that the more loft and control you have on your golf ball going into these greens is going to give that player a massive advantage.
