Time for stands around #1 and #9 at the Augusta National

[Big Cat 3]

Nothing big ... just some stands. #1 is just a tough view with the steep hill starting so near by. # 9 approach is one of the great shots in golf and deserves to be seen by more patrons. # 18 can stay al natural.

[tatertot]

Great idea ... And then turn #12 into an arena, and replace the Hogan bridge with a tunnel. And maybe put lights down the 18th fairway so the last hole could be in prime time. I think you're on to something here, might want to email the folks down in Augusta at www.theydontcarewhatwethink.com

Great idea on 18 ! It gets dark there

[Hawkeye77]

Terrible idea. People walk in, walk by the clubhouse and can see an incredible view that you would totally spoil. No sense of anything related to the layout there in this idea. Surprising how they know what works.

They should provide more onsite parking for those ultra low cars with big mufflers.

The ones with the stuffed animals hanging from the rear bumper ?

[golfandfishing]

If they are going to make improvements let’s get serious and put a waterfall behind the green on 12. That’s a glaring design flaw that could be easily fixed.

[Ferguson]

They should expand and rename Butler Cabin. It's should be called Hootie's Hideaway, RIP.

[gioguy21]

no way -- i cannot agree with this

Go to practice rounds then ... get the view, get spiritual or whatever. Then get the stands up and let's see the golf. Amen Corner is full of stands and that is Amen Corner. #1 needs some help anyway, a tough but bland hole.

Those aren't stuffed. They were run over on the way to the course.

Masters Teddy Bears go for $225 but are stuffed and dated

They would have to put it on the putting green, and they would block the entire clubhouse. Just lol.

[ray9898]

ehhhh....just no.

If I'm not mistaken the stands at Amen Corner are all behind the 12th tee and facilitate viewing for the whole area and don't block anything.

Now on the 1st tee

Block a bigger view ... right

You can put a putting green anywhere ... how many white cabins do you have to see ? besides an oak tree is in front of the club house. Let's see the golf!

[dmac4g]

Why not mount some seating on top of the clubhouse itself? From that elevation, you could see most of the course and don't forget a couple jumbo-trons while we are at it!

Great plan. Move the $100,000 putting green for some temporary stands that are used for one week.

No jumbo-trons, just better viewing on, as of now, an over crowded, dull #1. If you ever attended the Masters, you would concur. And you cannot see most the course, just 9 green and some of the fairway, 7 greenside bunkers, and the hill coming down 18 tee, in the distance. Same view you see below #1 tee , which is cool, except you cannot see #1 tee. So go down there and stare away, if the scenery is your thing.

Some small stands to the left of 1 tee wouldn't hurt anything (see the small set up at Sawgrass #1). Would actually add to the viewing delight and allow more to see a players opening tee shot. Great view of the white cabins too.

Just a thought having been there for 3 days and numerous times prior. After the 1st time, the scenery becomes secondary to watching the golf. Stand arrangement elsewhere is cool, though I can see with the new room behind 14 and 5 , there could be stands added behind the tee box in time. No views compromised, for you scene guys.

AN just paid 40 million for some deserted lots behind 5 ... doubt 100k matters a whole lot. Btw, there is a really nice putting green at the new range.

And no surprise - a troll thread from the start.

 

Next a clown’s mouth mandatory on the 18th at St. Andrews.

Anybody who’s been more than once recently is dead to me. Lol ( a joke). But seriously. Who gets to go enough times that they no longer care about the scenery ? 1% of 1st world issues. I’d just like to get invited.

That won’t end well. He’s been several times as I recalll.

 

 

If we’re looking for a good idea. Banning all ticket resales. There’s an idea. Requiring photo ID should be easy enough to check

There is plenty of scenery left , just need a better set up at the 1st tee. No big deal or change. AN used to allow only the back 9 to be shown on TV but they changed that. Plus, they changed almost every hole ( mainly, the ones that didn't need changed 4,5,11). AN is always changing ... with their resources they could come up with some thing good, they always do.

 

Spend the cash and go brother, it's worth it and you only have to really go once. I go for business that is why I've gone a few times. It's always fun, but could use stands on #1, no big deal. Btw, there are guys that give badges away, if they have them for multiple days, or go just for a few hours and then give them away. Don't believe it ... go hang out at TBones each evening. I do not do that ... I'm a 8 am to 8pm guy. Love the golf. This year the golf was superb.
