Actually I played Augusta National in 1996. My good fried Lou, a member at Augusta for over 30 years, invited three of us to join him for four days of golf and companionship. We arrived at noon on Sunday and after being shown our quarters for the next four days, Mammie's Cabin, we hit a few shots and went on the play what, from my point of view, is the most extraordinary golf course on this planet.
That first day I three putted seven times but as I played on I got better at understanding the greens.
As a golfer, I felt like I had died and gone to golf heaven. What a wonderful experience. The kind that lives with you a lifetime. Makes you realize that some things on your bucket list mean more to you than others.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again
