It's Masters time again. Like many golfers I'll spend a good chunk of the weekend watching the best players in the world navigate Augusta National, a course I'll almost certainly never play and may never even see other than on TV or in photos.

Still I feel a familiarity with Augusta National simply because it's I've seen the course once each Spring on TV for the last 30+ years. Over the years, I've come to like some of the holes more than others.

The question is, what is your favorite hole at Augusta National... and why?

Being that i'll never play there, I dont give a damn. At least I can go play pebble or sawgrass if I wanted to..My pro played there years ago, but in the condition the members play it, and said it was nothing special at all.

1) Sounds like you are spoiled. Basically you are taking your ball and going home because you're not allowed to play. Boooo!

2) Sounds like your pro is spoiled. #3 course in the Nation and it's "nothing special???" Probably the first human I've ever heard or read that from.

#12 it is...wicked par 3, green's not deep at all, distance control is a must!

Plus the hidden wind factor. Jack said it is so brutal. You do NOT go for the pin on Sunday.

For me it's 10. It's such a great equalizer. Nobody really dominates this hole. It sets up Amen Corner. You must hit a hard draw to have a semi-flat lie on your approach shot. If you don't, then you have a hanging lie with a long iron into a lightning fast, mulit-tiered green peppered with bunkers. This hole killed Norman over the years and cost him several green jackets.

I understand where he's comming from though... I think everyone would like to play some of these highly regarded courses that are reserved for people who think they are the kings of the world.

That being said... Augusta sure looks like a nice course to me. my favorite is 15... requires such a precise shot into it.

Just because you aren't allowed to play doesn't mean the members think they are the kings of the world. That is just bogus logic.

The place is probably the most highly desired private club in the country, if they allowed the general public in, then how would they ever manage? The answer is, they couldn't. Therefore, you are more than welcome to play if you are invited by a member. By the way, this is the exact same policy you would see at literally thousands and thousands of private golf courses around the world. Why now is Augusta getting a bad rap? My guess is, its just sour grapes. It's just a ridiculous argument.

First of all... I'm not the one who started the whole "I don't like Augusta thing." Second, I wasn't necessarily trying to single them out.... if you read my post it says

some of these highly regarded clubs . My point is only that SOME people who do belong to these clubs think they are better than the guy down the street who plays the muni every weekend, and I can understand the other poster saying he doesn't care what Augusta is like because he will never get to play it. I never singled out Augusta or made any argument about it... I just said I understand why this guy feels left out. So don't sit there telling me my argument is rediculous when I'm not even making one. I have no sour grapes as I would be more than happy to play there if I got an invite, just as I HAVE played some of the nicer private clubs in Michigan by getting invites from people I know or friends of friends. Now, if I could only get someone to invite me out to Inverness before I move out of Toledo I would be all set.

OK, so your argument is SOME people at SOME clubs think they are the kings of the world? Compelling. And as a result, you agree with a guy who basically says that Augusta is irrelevant because he can't play it? Still Ridiculous. (not rediculous)

didn't f-ing say I agree... I said I can UNDERSTAND! Man... you sure like putting words in my mouth. Big difference in sympathizing with someones's feelings and having them for my own!
