A Masters invitation comes with far more than just a spot in the first major championship of the year. For those who work it right, it means practice rounds on a course they cherish and perhaps an overnight stay on site that elicits a giddiness usually reserved for kids on Christmas.
By now, Augusta National is bustling as the club prepares to host the Masters next week for the 90th time. Members are getting in rounds on their cherished course. The Augusta National Women’s Amateur final round is Saturday. Masters participants are getting in their own practice rounds.
