Played the Masters course for the first time today and boy did I wish I had a member with me that could guide us through. Very tough layout and it can eat balls, too! Scored an all time high for myself (I actually count lost balls)but my putting was good even though the sanding of the greens was not well done and left some sand rows on some greens. Lots of blind shots and without buying a yardage book it's difficult to know what lies ahead. The course overall is very well maintained as should be expected. There has been a little aeration done but nothing that would affect ones' score. The par 5 16th green was probably inspired by 17 at Sawgrass with water around the very small green and a bunker on the water side. Very tough approach shot.
Too bad it took 'til now for LMG to hook up Kaneff but it's only 5 minutes from my place so I'm sure I'll get at least one more great deal there before the demise of the current LMG. I want to play the Legends next but I'm not sure if I can carry enough balls in my bag to make it all the way though 18 holes!
