During the 2015 Masters, I began a segment called “Revealing Photos,” which combined equipment information with unique observations of photos taken by our photographer, Greg Moore. And based on the positive feedback, I’ve been revealing photos for nearly every PGA Tour event since.

For the one-year anniversary of the segment, I made my first pilgrimage to Augusta, Georgia, to take my own photos. So this will be the first self-photographed revealing photos.

Warning: I am not a professional photographer, so if you want to see the real professional’s photos, make sure to browse the galleries below:

And if you want some background on what The Masters and Augusta National Golf Club both mean to me, read my story here. Now, let’s get to this special edition, Revealing Photos: Live from The Masters.

“It’s way more hilly than it looks on TV” 

I’ve heard it a million times from people who have attended The Masters. My goal was to attempt to capture said “hilliness” as best as possible to end the perception that Augusta is flat. Here is a gallery of my attempts, which in my opinion actually came out unsuccessfully.

I promised myself I would never say “It’s more hilly than it looks on TV,” yet that’s the first thing I said when I walked through the gates and saw the fairway on hole No. 1.

The Augusta hills are no joke… and they’re the reason my dad had to stretch his calves on the steps of the grandstands (photo is 100 percent not staged, he was struggling).

“Skeep, skeep”

Surely you’ve seen videos of players skipping the ball across the pond at hole No. 16. Hearing the Georgians trying pronounce the word “skip,” as “skeep” is something to behold. Charley Hoffman’s ball made it safely across and onto the green, enticing a huge roar.

2016 Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III’s ball found a watery grave, but the fans showed their respects with a clap for the effort. Love still walked away disappointed, however.

2 balls to the left

Ian Poulter’s golf ball ended up on a fan’s lap next to the fifth green of the Par-3 Contest. It was off a bounce, no worries.

After taking a drop, the two stood next to each other reading the putt. “So what do you think here,” Poulter asked. My father, with some quick wit, shouts “Two balls to the left!” inducing chuckles all around.

The read was off.

But the joke was appreciated by Poulter, who signed the manhood-endangering golf ball for the spectator to keep.

No details left unnoticed

The word perfection is often associated with Augusta National and The Masters. That’s probably because its staff thinks of everything.

That includes employees sweeping dirt from the sidewalks outside of the bathroom.

Marshals literally vacuuming debris from the tee boxes.

And check out the divot brigade. No wonder why you can’t find a blade of grass out of place at Augusta. Because there isn’t one.

A photo of a photo of the spot of “Phil’s shot”

How many times do the course employees get asked to see the spot where Phil hit his gutsy, Green-Jacket-winning shot in 2010?

So many times that they had photos developed to show annoying patrons like me.

Hey, how’d that GolfWRX chip get there?

Wasn’t me.

Purity

Notice something unique about this photo? It was taken after play for the day, so there’s no flag on the green. Just pure beauty.

A big swing for a short shot

This photo shows amateur Bryson DeChambeau hitting a shot from in front of the ninth green, except he was aiming for the 18th green. That’s weird; usually players will pick up their golf ball and practice more practical shots to prepare for the tournament.

Weird, until you find out he was in a group with Phil, Keegan and Dustin. Surely they were playing for more than proper tournament preparation.

The lone palm tree

Out on hole No. 4, which is about as far away from the clubhouse (and civilization) as you can get at Augusta National, sits the smallest leaderboard ever, and the only palm tree on the golf course — or so they say. Surely the Masters volunteers pull straws to see who gets stuck changing out that leaderboard.

Lastly, a shout out to pops

I’m not looking to make this about me, but a quick thank you to my dad for finally making my dream of going to The Masters come true. A decent view, but an even better bucket hat.
