Where is the masters
What Is Augusta National REALLY Like? | The Masters 2019 | Golfing World
well I still can't quite believe it
myself I am here at Augusta National
my very first Masters Tournament I've
set myself to challenge to share with
you the golfing world viewers exactly
what a perfect day at the Masters does
look like so with the clock ticking and
the sun shining let's get cracking
any golf fan that makes the pilgrimage
here to Augusta is sure to head straight
to Amen Corner and Here I am standing in
front of the 12 tee with the 11th green
to my left and the 13th
running down the side and the beauty and
magnitude of this place is very very
difficult to put into words the
perfection of the grass the color of the
azaleas behind the 12th green everything
feels amplified part of the Augusta
allure is certainly the history that has
played out here and it's impossible not
to see that history almost personality
in these halls playing out in front of
my very eyes the chip in from Mize on
eleven balls in the water from jordan
Spieth good and bad we are standing
right in the heart of history
one of the things that has surprised me
the most being here at the Masters is
that it feels almost like we've come
back in time and that includes the
pricing structure on the concession menu
you can get everything on this menu for
five dollars or less the pimento cheese
sandwich of course is one of the most
famous things and I'm wanting to try one
for myself
yes kmu one of these please today Thanks
thank you so much
thank you very much I knew thanks so
much well this is the moment of truth
my first pimento cheese sandwich at the
Masters crack into this
[Music]
it's not too bad
one of the best things about being at
the Masters is bumping into people from
all over the world like this group here
in exceptional outfit guys you having a
good time
[Applause]
[Music]
dotted around the course are these boxes
with the start times and pairing sheets
inside the reason these are so important
is because phones are completely banned
here Augusta National as an avid golf
fan myself I didn't realize this and it
does change the atmosphere here so the
patrons have to rely on these start
times and the scoreboards to know who's
in the race for the green jacket aside
from the golf course itself Augusta
National is a magnificent place to walk
around the Nature the colors it really
is incredible and there's not a pine
needle out of place
[Music]
you will have heard about the elevations
and undulations here at the Masters but
it's not until you stand here in real
life that you get the true understanding
of just how vast they are this big hill
on the 18th
I never appreciated watching a TV just
quite how steep it is and of course this
giant fairway bunker here on the left
ready to catch any wayward tee shots as
a Scots women myself I can't help but
think of Sandy Lyle shot an 88 that
7-iron flushed out the bunker to help
him win the Masters one of the most
aesthetically impressive amphitheaters
in golf this is where you want to be on
Wednesday of masters week the par-3
tournament founded in 1960 this is where
the players bring their families dying
their friends and they're having a great
time everyone else is enjoying it just
as much and the atmosphere is electric
one thing you should know is that no
player has ever won the par-3 tournament
and then gone on to claim the green
jacket one of the really cool things I'm
noticing here at the Masters is
everyone's walking around with these
tears on their shoulder and there's an
understanding here that if you place
your chair in a position you can pick
any spot you want no one will touch it
so I've decided to put mine on the first
team
well what a day it has been absolutely
fantastic and there's no better way to
cap it off than a trick to the golf shop
let's be honest you cannot come to the
Masters without visiting at least once
there are people flooding in so wish me
luck
[Music]
you
