Once you’ve played Augusta National, everything looks different |
|
An additional perk of winning the media lottery to play Augusta National the Monday after the Masters is you’re permitted to be reasonably obnoxious about it afterward. Usually, detailed descriptions of my golf rounds are the easiest way to clear a room. Here, people even ask questions.
At Golf Digest, we’ve covered the dynamic from every possible angle: from how to prepare for the round, to the round itself, to the things you won’t notice until you play there, to even how regular golfers should attack certain holes if they ever get the opportunity themselves. Then I recognized a new perspective that awaits next week—what it will be like to watch the Masters after playing the same course.

It’s easy to dismiss the correlation. Golfers in the Masters are good. I am not. A Masters round is important. My goal, I was told with a healthy amount of condescension, was to “just have fun.” The sizable gap between the golf you will watch on TV and whatever you want to call my experience there last April suggests I have little new insight to offer about the tournament. But those of us who have played Augusta National–it’s a small club that meets once a week and mostly just high-fives each other –disagree, because the tournament takes on a new light once you’ve navigated the same holes. As the kids say, if you know, you know.
