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

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.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

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.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

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!

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
