I am actually happy about this. I was taking my 75 year old dad for our first time. I was really concerned about putting him on an airplane. Hopefully the October rumor is true.

What a ridiculous over exaggeration. Was not expecting them to cave this early

If anyone could play and ignore the hilarity, it's Augusta. I was not expecting a cave this early. Wonder why they didn't wait it out until April 4th like the pga considered.

Obviously ANGC can figure this out, but they've been Rye-Overseeding all winter for April tournament. Course will burn out in the summer.

Going to be a hell of a turnaround to get it to tournament conditions in October. Yes, I know the course reopens then...but it's not in "impeccable" shape like it is after an entire winter of Rye treatment and maintenance.

They’ve never tried to keep it in impeccable shape for then. If anyone can do it, it’s Augusta National.

When were you expecting them to cave? I mean the logistics of this deal are a bit more than your local member/member.

Late October is plenty of time to over seed and get it ready. No azaleas but course will be in shape. Problem of cold weather will be more of a factor.

Eric, I wasn't quoting your post. I was speaking to Maravich.

Now, you should apologize.

This is fricking stupid! Branded Chamblee is on GC now talking about what a great idea this is. You know it’s retarded.

I heard one interview where the guy said “we don’t even know what the world will look like in October”

I chuckled

October is start of fall season for 2020/21 season.

Be interesting to see what they do. Masters played twice in the 2020/21 season and doubled up on the fedex points.
