Augusta Golf Club - Reasons For Its Popularity In The Golfing World
This is one of the most popular Golf Clubs and also holds a great golf course, one of the top in the entire world of golf. The club holds a masters tournament once a year, and attracts players from all over the country and from overseas as well. As the name suggests, it is located in Augusta Georgia. Many players have said that it is one of the most challenging courses they have come across, and can really test a sportsman’s skills. They’ve added a nice touch by naming every hole in the course after a flower that would be in bloom during the tournament months. With all these interesting facts, the course has a great history, and read on to find out more about this wonderful golf course and the club.
The Golf Course
The Augusta course is one of the most demanding you will ever come across, in spite of the fact that it has seen some redesigning in the last few years that many players do not welcome. As mentioned earlier, every hole on the course is named after a tree, flower or shrub in its vicinity. For example the hole number one is called the tea olive. The Augusta golf course is probably the only course in the country which has never been rated, and this is because of its unique layout no doubt. The eleventh, the twelfth and the thirteenth holes are named the Amen corner, because many a turning point in past masters tournaments has occurred here. Players love to practice on these holes.
The Augusta Golf Club
This is a pretty much exclusive golf club, and it is something of a status symbol to be associated with it. Membership is by invitation only. Anyone who wins a tournament is invited to become a member of the club, and other dignitaries such as Bill Gates are invited as well. The club holds around three hundred individual members at any given point of time, and membership costs from twenty five to fifty thousand dollars. The members are provided with a green jacket that they can wear on the course. Winners however are allowed to flaunt their jackets wherever they may play and visit during the time that they hold the title of the year. At the end of the day, all jackets are returned to their home at the club. Many women players detest the club because only male members are allowed. Women can however accompany their husbands as spectators. There has been immense pressure on the club to do away with this rule, and thanks to that, the 2003 tournament was organized without any sponsoring companies.
In spite of so much going against its membership rules, the Augusta club remains one of the most sought after membership in the States. Its master’s tournament is a prized title and you may wish to visit a tournament as spectator. Don’t miss out on this historic course with its beautiful grounds.

How do I try a golf club on a course before buying it?
I want to buy a driver at Sports Authority, but I would like to try the driver on a course first. How can I try before buying?
Golf Galaxy has a program called "Demo at your door." It's a 5 Day Program where you can request a club and they will send it to you for 5 days via Fed Ex 2nd day air for a nominal fee (depending on the club or iron set you are trying). You use the club(s) on your home course during the 5 day period that you select and then use a pre-paid label to send the club back to them. They also include a voucher good at any Golf Galaxy location or Golf Galaxy.com for the amount that you paid for the demo. That voucher is good towards the purchase of that club.
It's a super program. I used it to buy a new driver and was able to try the Nike Sumo square before I wasted my money on the trash. It only cost me $25. Had I bought it new and used it I would have lost about $150 worth of value.
