Continuing on with my “Masters stuff you don’t see on TV” posts is an interesting one. Why are the greens so amazing at Augusta National Golf Club? Perhaps this device has something to do with it? Looks like something which perhaps measures the moisture in the green…
Another cool thing at the Masters which those who haven’t been there don’t know about is the information boards. These boards (pictured below) are all over the course and show where players are so you can go find Tiger Woods or whoever you want to follow. There are usually Masters folks at the boards who will radio their fellow workers to inquire the exact location of a player on the course if you ask them. Really cool!

I’m getting so tired of the repetitive golf blog and social networking subjects that I feel the need to mix it up a bit and ask something different!

Today’s “Masters stuff you don’t see on TV” photo was taken by me, behind one of the Masters green concession stands. I believe this one is near 16 tee. They hide them in the trees…
