Augusta National - Disassemble Bleachers after Masters?

[Ron]

Do they disassemble all the bleachers at Augusta National immediately after the completion of the last round of The Masters Tournament?

[DaveP043]

I assume they must.  The course is only open for play by its members for a few months each year, something like October to May.  I'd imagine they want to get the bleachers and all the rest of the tournament stuff out of the way as quickly as possible.

Thank you.  I think you're correct as I don't believe there is any other event where spectators are allowed on the grounds.  I read an article that said in addition to endless financial resources, they have a bottomless pit to draw from for top quality grounds crew people whenever anything has to be done on the course.  We can certainly appreciate that Augusta National doesn't operate on a "Shoestring."

There are relatively few grandstands on the course at the Masters compared to other major tournaments, in any case. The landscaping of the course provides natural spectator vantage points on most holes.

Yeah.

Left of #15 they have grandstands, IIRC, and those are definitely gone… as recently as less than one month ago:

Left of 15th green and 11th green/12th tee are the big grandstands; there's a small bleacher section at 13th green/14th tee. I'm struggling to think of any other grandstands on the entire course.

OK, thank you.  I have never been there and didn't realize that.  I did see a shot of some bleachers so I just assumed that they had lots of them like other tournaments.

"Patrons' viewing areas", if you don't mind!!

Especially when you compare the Masters to a tournament like the WGC Bridgestone at Firestone CC in Akron. They erect a city out there! And a couple of weeks after the tournament ends, it's gone!

I have a friend who played Augusta in October 2015.  Zero grandstands anywhere on the course outside of the Masters.
