Strange things happening at Augusta National
« on: April 01, 2014, 11:09:23 AM »
OMG I have just heard that the grounds staff at Augusta have accidentally painted the course PINK rather than green! Could be the ice storm effect still on their minds

Here is the incriminating picture that I retrieved from a reliable resource also I have heard that Billy Payne is not too happy and says this is an act of stupidity or vandalism so they will be ordering more green paint to rectify this prior to the 2014 Masters.

Sounds like Ms. Rice and Ms. Moore have more control over the goings on than we thought....or just an April Fools Day post!

Ah, rats, just my luck! As some of you may know, I qualified for this year's Masters off the world Top 50 list, and I can't tell you how much I've been dreaming of my first drive down Magnolia Lane, my first ever practice round on those pristine greem fairways (I'd arranged to play with Ben and...oh, that would be Ben Crenshaw, sorry, I forget not everyone knows him as well as I do). And now this? Pink fairways of all things! It really sucks, that's all I can say.

Consider the conditioning/visual impact ANGC has on golf course committees and superintendents around the nation.  This could be the start of a major new trend at courses coast to coast.

I bet an Irnbru would go down real well with a pimento cheese sandwich.

I knew it was only a matter of time before golf turned into tennis. It looks like the French Open.
