Sure, Sven, but can I tack it on my wall?  ;)

Go ahead, you might run out of printer ink though.  That stuff is pretty expensive these days.

It was buried on page 6 of Sven's "The Changes to ANGC" thread.  

Picture-perfect (pun intended) for this thread...

By the way, was that your piece in the Globe and Mail on Augusta's membership policies?  If so, I enjoyed your take on the matter.

I liked the side by side comparisons but it's hard to compare.  I also didn't see the pot bunker that Jones and Mackenzie placed on the 11th so I wonder how detailed (and accurate) it really is? 

I still for the life of me can't understand why ANGC doesn't try and restore some of the shapes of greens that are very minor.  As an example the left side of the 12th green?

I love the look of the vertical church pew bunkers in back of 13..  That could make a recovery shot much more interesting.
