It appears that Fred Ridley just announced that Augusta National will host (co-host?) a women's am event next year, with the final round played at Augusta National on Sat before Masters, and will be open to public.
This may create a great opportunity to gain access to walk the course, for those who have never had the pleasure.
There will be a lottery for tickets, but being a new event, and an am event, might be less demand for tickets as opposed to the Master's practice rounds.
Could turn out to be the ideal means to walking the course for architecture enthusiasts who do not want to pay hundreds of $ to otherwise walk August National.
