How much GolfWRXers would pay to play Augusta National
In our forums, WRXer ‘bowilbury8’ has presented an intriguing hypothetical scenario to fellow members:
“Let’s say Augusta National decides to raise money for a charity by inviting 25 non-members to play there the week after the Masters. A lotto system so everyone gets a chance, and there is no bidding war. How much are you willing to pay for this once in a lifetime opportunity?”
Our members have been sharing their price to play the iconic golf course.
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.
- volrus: “$2k without thinking twice.”
- bowilbury8: “I bet if the price were 10k, there would still be a huge amount of people who would do it. Me included.”
- jvincent: “I wouldn’t even think twice about $1k. I would probably need spousal approval to go as high as $5k.”
- JimmyC59: “$1000. Couldn’t justify any more than that.”
- Edward_MajorWin: “I’d happily part with 5,000 CAD … so for all y’all that would be $3,586.84 USD. Augusta is the only course I’d consider paying a ridiculous green fee to play. All the other ones, no matter how they rank, aren’t even in the conversation.”
- Lobby: “$150. Golf is way overpriced already.”
- johnnymc44: “Completely appreciate the setup you guys have with private/public golf courses. But because of the accessibility of the courses here in the UK I wouldn’t pay more than £250 ($310) for AN as I could get on the likes of The Old Course, most of the Royal courses, Open rota courses etc. for cheaper. Call me controversial, but I think they’re better than AN.”
- dhartmann34: “Just had this discussion the other day with a friend. I said $5k, and he said $50k. He’s far more well off than I am, but I still don’t think I’d drop $50k…even if I were a lower level multi-millionaire. That’d go against almost every piece of advice I’ve ever given my clients. Not too mention there’s so much I could do for $50k. But if it’s an open bidding war, I think it’d certainly be in the $100k per person range for charity.”

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback in our forum.
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.
- Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
- MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
- courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”
