I was there all day Monday for my first time and cannot get my head around how incredible everything on that property is. The consession stands, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, the people are all second to none and make for what I believe, one of, if not, the great sporting event of all.
The azalas and dogwoods came and left about 4 weeks ago, other than that, there was hardly a pine cone out of place. The golf course is incredible-the size, scale, angles, slopes and I really cannot wait to watch it on tv this weekend , as now I understand the "Augusta roars," the winds that you feel at the tee, yet the flag isn't moving, the angles and slopes that some of the players play.
ANGC is so far and above anything that I've seen or played, that I do not even know how there is a debate as to the greatest course in the world. But it's also just so different-nothing like Oakmont or Shinnecock, Oakland Hills where they are very penal. ANGC appears very wide, large in scale and playable.
The entire place exceeded my expectations. My dad said today, " When the Lord comes bsck and destroyes the earth as we know it, he will spare Augusta National. " Incredible place.
