Can anyone show where it is definitely ANGC....I hope not or there will be someone in trouble....
I have seen one auction where a foursome is auctioned to the golf course of their choice in the State of Georgia....that's as close as I have ever seen it done....Oh well......

If it is really ANGC I know a guy on here who will gladly pay 25,000 for him alone.The quest for some things makes us do silly things. lol

Cary,

We've all been watching the Masters for a lot of years.  Most of us will not play the Augusta National Golf Club.  I wish you wouldn't put a price on something you've been fortunate to experience that a lot of people haven't and never will.
Pricing something that I would both find meaningful and be willing to pay much more than your stated price makes you sound quite the spoiled brat.

So Cary, I guess you rarely found the fairway off the tee... ;D

Now Philip,
Your surmising that Cary rarely found the fairways sent me into hysterics. A few words can do justice so easily. The last time I laughed out loud at a piece of writing, for as long as I just did, was whilst reading "Three Men in a Boat" about fifty years ago! If you can repeat this performance as Jerome K. Jerome did I tip me hat to you.

Colin,

I couldn't help myself! Check your email for an encore that I hope will put you into Mr. Jerome's distinguished company...

Very generous of ANGC to participate in this auction, understanding that the Masters is a primary sponsor of the First Tee, but also knowing that the round will go for a huge sum and those proceeds will go a long way in helping kids learn golf in the Charleston area.

Heck I would just like to attend the party at the Sanctuary! :)

I played it twice, believe me, it is not worth alot of money.

Greens are very fast if you get above the hole, but they are never tournament fast except for the Masters

Is it worth $500, yes. Above that, I don't know.

It is different playing it than watching it from the gallery. From the sides, you really don't get the shot values.

Why'd you go back? ::) ::)

as far as the greens only being tournament fast in the tournament, that's why they call them "tournament fast" ??? ???

The most coveted invitation in golf and it's not worth what it costs to play Pinehurst,TOC or many public access tracks?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
Plenty of people would pay 25g, and plenty of people with 25 g don't have a member willing to take them, even if they do know a member.....
and my guess is they would feel it was worth, regardless of what they paid or gave up to play

Agreed, Pat. That party is likely to be awesome.

I guess Cary doesn't want to go back any time soon, because if  I hosted somebody at Augusta and they dissed it this way in public, I can imagine I'd probably find somebody else to invite for that next trip! ;)

Anyone ever hear if the Rounds4Research "GA Mystery Course" turned about to be ANGC? IIRC that one went for around 5k?

Ryan - I have it on good authority that it was NOT Augusta National. There are only a handful of others that would want to be kept this secret.
