AN APPRAISAL; Masters Is Missing a Fixture: The Late Furman Bisher
As the sun set on the 75th Masters a year ago Sunday, the fertile brain inside Furman Bisher’s head, partly hidden under a signature bucket hat, sent these words through his fingers to the keyboard: “It was, if I may be allowed the freedom to say, one of the strangest Masters I have ever seen. Strange swings from one seeming champion to - By MIKE TIERNEY
Is it time for AUGUSTA NATIONAL to change the par 5 15th Hole?
The Par 5 15th at Augusta national is a storied Par 5. However, given the speed of both the greens and the fairways, and the tight mowing heights, should Augusta national either enlarge the green by making it deeper, or, create a more level lay-up area (not a completely flat area, just more level) on that hole.
Answer: Absolutely not. The genius of Augusta's 15th lies in its risk/reward. Players are tempted, because of its relative short length, to go for it in two.
However, as you have pointed out, there are many things to consider before pulling the trigger.
Look at how Zach Johnson played the 15th (and all the par 5s) last year. He laid up on every par 5 and it paid off dearly.

I know that women are not allowed to become members of the Augusta national Golf Club but are they allowed to go see the Golf Masters game?
Answer: Yes...women are certainly able to be patrons at the hallowed grounds of Augusta national. The newest "boss" at the club, Billy Payne is slowly and quietly paving the way to allow female members in. It may not happen in his tenure, but I believe it will happen within the next 10 years.

do people golf at AUGUSTA NATIONAL all year round?
Theres a rumor floating around that the golf course is only open for play during The Masters and that nobody plays on it the rest of the year. This makes no sense to me. Is it true?
Answer: Because of the hot summers, the club closes for the summer from May through early October. The course is open for member play from October through May, but in the weeks leading up to the tournament it is closed except for participants. Most members belong to other golf clubs.
This is not a new practice; just as many courses here are closed during the winter for obvious reasons (weather).

What do you think of a us open at AUGUSTA NATIONAL?
Would the course be ruined? What modifications would be made? Would they lower 13 and 15 to par 4s. Can they make those greens any quicker? Would they shave the rough on 16 and 11 so anything left would run to the water? Would the course even be playable by its members? Would you love to see it happen? Would you hate it? Could they even make the modifications possible between April and June? What would the winning score be? Would it be more suited for a PGA championship? Or Ryder cup?. I want your thoughts...
Me personally, I would love to see it.
Answer: Never two majors there,but the ryder cup would be the greatest tourney ever!!!Even the old ,stuffy augusta members might approve that one.Plus put in early fall and the course would have a 6 month recovery time and the ryder cup has limited players contributing less wear.

What does it cost to join AUGUSTA NATIONAL?
Im sure you have to purchase a truck load of stock and then youll have the monthly dues. Does anyone know what the amounts are?
I heard it was something like $25,000 initial investment. Am I close?
AND...NO GENIUS, IM NOT ASKING BECAUSE I WANT TO JOIN. JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE FEES.
Answer: The $25K initial cost is probably close. There are full members and there are 'others' so not everybody pays the same. There's also a monthly fee of $100 +/- (not a lot for Augusta national), caddie's fees, etc.
The big cost comes at the end of the year.....all the costs of running and maintaining, improving, adding to, or modifying one of the worlds greatest golf courses is divided up and each member pays 'his' share. The Master’s week has a $60MM price tag for example.
In other words, "...Here's what it costs, pay this." That's the 'true' cost of membership and its not something you’re likely to find on the Internet. Oh, and the cost is divided between the 300 members.

How does AUGUSTA NATIONAL patrons list get changed, are they transferable or sold?
Do I understand that the series badges are sold only to invitees on the patrons list?
Answer: From reading an article a few years back...you're talking about a renewal rate of about 99%...once you're on the list, you renew every year, so folks on the list...not much movement from year to year.
According to the article, you can bequeath your "spot" to your kids. You can't sell your spot (if the club catches someone doing this...you're no longer a patron).
Same with reselling badges.
Their attitude is pretty simple...it's their tournament, their club, their rules, and they seem to do pretty well.

Answer: You can play as guest of a member, as said above, or if you're lucky enough to caddy there, you'd get free run of the course for a day before the course closes in June. And you can't buy a membership, you have to be invited. Then it's $250,000 to $500,000 to stay a member.
