42 German soldiers who were prisoners of war built a wooden bridge at Augusta.  They were selected due to the German army's ability to construct bridges over rivers for tanks to cross.

The maintenance people use it to get across the creek with their equipment. I witnessed this during a practice round this year

It is a maintenance bridge.

Augusta is heaven on earth.  Television does not begin to do the course justice.
