Spending the night on Thursday and on the course on Friday.
Yeah, I've never really figured out the thought process behind that?????It's cool, but it's also really stupid that they stop the tourney and play a practice round in the middle of it.
Well, I can understand that I think. Do you really want that much play on the course the week before the Masters? Of course another option is to play the Am at another time, but the timing of it and the Drive, Chip and Putt make for such a good lead up to the main event.In all reality all three rounds should just be at augusta national.
That may be true, but I bet that is the reason they don't play all 3 rounds there. The first couple of rounds would be the full Am field as well, so instead of one full Am field round (practice round today) there'd be at least 3. Yeah, they play different tees, but after that they're not necessarily playing from different spots.It's not that much more, there aren't a ton of girls in the tourney, and they already play 2 rounds now. I think the timing works because they only have to get the course perfect one time a year.
Not necessarily on 2nd shots and around the greens. Kupcho dominated Augusta from the tees they played.And the places these girls play from on the course are VASTLY different from where the men will be hitting from next week.
2nd shots are still pretty different on lots of holes, greens I agree with. Still I think it is kinda crazy they just play the one round there. You all are correct that is the reasoning but I think that's some bs and they should do all 3. Anyways I'm glad its a thing either wayNot necessarily on 2nd shots and around the greens.

Yeah. I don't really get why they play the first rounds at different courses. But I enjoy watching the final round at Augusta National. I remember the first year when Kupcho won, they showed the last few holes on the big screen at the football stadium before the spring game. It was cool.2nd shots are still pretty different on lots of holes, greens I agree with. Still I think it is kinda crazy they just play the one round there.

I would guess they'd be looking at 4 rounds total, 3 with the full field (1 practice, 2 rounds before cut, final round). On top of doubling the play it's two more days with spectators out there and two less days they can get any work in the week before the Masters.That may be true, but I bet that is the reason they don't play all 3 rounds there. The first couple of rounds would be the full Am field as well, so instead of one full Am field round (practice round today) there'd be at least 3.
