Lowrey Stulb is another behind-the-scenes influence on Augusta National.
If you look closely around the grounds of Augusta National this week, you’ll see several pieces of Stulb’s architecture. Along with the Eisenhower Cabin (also known as “Ike’s Cabin”), Stulb designed the pro shop. He also designed one of the course’s most famous landmarks, Sarazen Bridge.
Big storm at the Masters last night meant big clean-up on the course today.
quote from Hideki Matsuyama.
The Masters Tournament set to start right outside the door might as well have been a million miles away. Instead of Georgia, the devastation of their homeland from last month’s earthquake and tsunami weigh heavy on the minds of Ryo Ishikawa and Hideki Matsuyama.

Nothing like the azaleas at the Masters. See a gallery of the scenery
It’s so hidden away that many patrons didn’t even see the new building for Augusta National Golf Club members on the course during Monday’s Masters Tournament practice round.
Known by the club as the Member Retreat, it is located in the heart of Amen Corner, set off in a grove of trees.

This is huge:
2012 daily Masters Tournament tickets available to public
Practice round tickets had been available to the public through a random lottery, but the application process for tournament badges has been closed since 1971. A waiting list to be considered for a tournament badge application was closed in 1978, briefly opened in 2000 and has been closed for more than a decade.

Ali wore J.Crew capris with a Juicy Couture jacket, and Andie found her capris at Gap and wore a North Face jacket. They worked their scarves into their outfits after learning about the cold weather. “We knew that would be the only thing seen,” Andie said.
You don’t think of the Masters as being cold, but in 2009, Masters fashion consisted of jackets, not sundresses. See how Masters patrons looked stylish in the cold.
