The elevation changes


I think HDTV has shown this aspect better than SDTV. First time I went was late 90’s for a practice round, and I was NOT prepared for the elevation changes. It just didn’t come through in standard def TV. We walked the course twice and were beat. We walked a few holes with David Duval and he came over and talked to us between several shots. Really nice guy.

OP, wear very comfortable shoes.

I just got back to NOLA from Augusta late last night. It was my first time yesterday and I was blown away. We walked about 30k steps and TV doesn't do it justice, especially when it comes to the elevation changes. I saw a lot of elderly people really struggling. The gift shop was an absolute zoo. We had to scope it out for a few minutes and then went back around 3:00 PM when it calmed down a bit (they were out of some merchandise by then). The weather was incredible after it warmed up but it was in the upper 40s in the morning. I hope I get the opportunity to go again and can't imagine how incredible it would be to go for the actual tournament.
