Some Intriguing Work Taking Place At Augusta National
/
Eureka Earth posted photos of a new pro shop under construction but that won’t mean much unless you’re a member or guest.
But this latest post of work on the 15th and 17th is noteworthy because (A) they are not taking some of the Hootie-era anti-Jones/MacKenzie tree plantings out, and (B) some large areas of turf were removed. Most interesting may be what appears to be pretty significant shaping equipment in the 15th hole landing area and the 17th green looking like it’s set for re-grassing.
My guess? Instead of taking out the Hootie-era trees down the right, the landing area is getting softened to not send a good drive behind the left pines. Or it may be a less sexy thing like sand-capping the landing area and installing SubAir under the spectator walkway.
