I hope I'm posting this in the right forum (I know TST is the right forum, I mean forums within).  I couldn't find this online, and it's possible that I'm just very bad at Google.

I discovered this morning that there are many types of Magnolia trees.  I did not know that until a few hours ago.

What I can't figure out is what types they have at Augusta.  Maybe they have multiple types.  Can someone help me out with that information?

The second question, if I can figure out the first, is if such a tree could thrive in coastal Southern California.  I ask because my backyard is dirt and recently-removed weeds, and I'm going to finally landscape it in the coming months, and I have room for maybe 2-3 trees, and I was thinking of getting a Magnolia.  And that's how I found out there are many types.

I would assume southern magnolia.

Ask a local garden center? There are varieties of magnolia that do well here in NJ. They tend to not like the cold.

I always wanted a magnolia, but for whatever reason I planted a weeping cherry instead. I only have one other spot in my yard suitable for a tree and I might end up putting up a pool there.

I will echo @billchaoand suggest you consult a nursery or knowledgeable garden center. I'm not sure Magnolia trees would respond well to the drought in Southern California.

There are plenty of online resources that can help you decide which trees would best fit the climate you are in.

Thanks, everyone, I'll look into it.  There was a magnolia tree at the nursery when I went through yesterday, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll work well, or that it won't be high maintenance (which I also don't want to deal with).

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
