Oh big deal if that yellow bird fan has been there or not ... looks like another stalking internet tough guy, that doesn't want to see stands at #1 at AN blah blah blah.

 

With no scalping law ( unless 5k yards away or whatever it is). Resale is tough anyway. But you would be shocked by the amount of patrons that leave after a half day ( many, many, elderly patrons )... and you would had been shocked of the amount that left and didn't come back after the delay ( 20 minutes ) Friday, even with 4 hours of golf left! ( but glad they left, late Friday the golf was surreal).

So not sure resale for the early outs is a big deal. And they are not getting a big price either. Two kids from Augusta (20-25) were saying they go every year for little or nothing around 1pm, just hang around Washington Road and are not afraid to ask ( some have to return badge to dealer).

Bigger issue is what that Texas family was pulling or fraudulent badges.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hand out 1-time-use air horns at the gate for patrons to use when Patrick Reed is hitting.

Bababboey, mashed potatoes and dilly dilly! what they need to class that joint up is railroad ties on 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and even 18. And mandatory carts. It’s too hilly.

And here I thought ANGC did a pretty good job of running the tournament. Boy was I wrong...
