Forum Thread of the Day: “What changes would you like made at Augusta National?”

Published

on

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from msupel, who asked fellow members if they were to make any changes to Augusta National, what would they be? Our members give their view, with some suggestion subtle changes, and others entirely satisfied with the course just the way it is.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • King_Slender: “They could move the bunker on 8 – that’s essentially what they did with the bunkers on 5, moving them back like 15-20 yards when they moved the tee back, so they were in the same landing area. I think it’s fine where it is – one of the beauties of Augusta is that all the Par 5’s can be hit in 2 by 95% of the field if you hit the fairway.”
  • AmazinBlue: “I think they need to move the 13th green and the tributary to Rae’s Creek back about 45 yards and the tee back about 25 yards. Since moving the green and the creek is nearly impossible, They should back the tee up about 70 yards and move it to the left. The hole has become ridiculously easy. Everyone that lands their tee shot on grass can get there in 2. It is supposed to be a risk/reward hole.”
  • pmadden86: “The changes they made to #5 were brilliant, I saw some guys hitting woods and 4 irons into that green when they flared their tee shot right. 13 and 15 – DO NOT CHANGE! Both are brilliant risk-reward holes just the way they are. Only change I’d like to see is 17th being driveable; it’s very meh since the tree came down.”
  • MilkyButterCuts: “There should be no rough what so ever. That’s how the course is meant to be played.”

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:

“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.

Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”

And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
  • otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech.  He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly.  Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy.  He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for.  There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind.  World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
  • konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.
