but that can't compete with the egg salad sammies and the total non-corporate environment.

The Heritage can absolutely compete with the Masters once you've been to Augusta National about 10 times and then your parents purchase a condo about a mile from Harbour Town. :rock:

Okay I've finally decided on a pick for the Green Jacket this week. I'm gonna say that Fred Couples finds his game and his back holds up for the whole tournament and he wins one for the over the age of 40 crowd ( which includes myself ).

I understand, but the environment at Augusta National just never gets old to me. Played Harbour Town with Sindelar from tourney tees weekend before the tourney several years ago. Great track, tiny greens (especially 17 with the wind whipping off the sound)

I played Harbour Town last Fall and was doing OK until I got to 16, 17, and 18 which were basically unplayable due to the cold wind coming off the sound at about 30 mph. Distance-wise I'm probably a little longer than average and I had to hit a Driver-4 Wood to get it anywhere close to the green on 18.

from the back tee, 17 looks like a kite tail on the ground and 18 feels about 6 feet wide from that large landing area. great golf. sindelar hit 2 iron 2 iron (both about 4 feet off the ground) into the wind to about 6 feet, drano. unbelievable 3. made my up and down from the bailout area to the right seem completely pedestrian

The webcam live page at masters.org may be the best produced, most informative and interactive website I have ever seen. The view screen could be a little larger, but still an amazing site....

Amen corner coverage should be beginning now...

17 and 18 at Harbour Town are much more imposing in person than on TV . . . Sort of like Augusta National. You can see how great the conditions are and how beautiful it is on TV, but people who have never been there probably have no concept how much the elevation changes from 10 tee/18 green down to Amen Corner.

the drop on 10 is amazing. all of 'em used to hit rope hook 3 wds off 10. Now it won't catch the slot and they're hitting drivers again. Beast of a hole and the green is tiny. Then the get to go to 11, which I believe is the hardest hole out there, and really long.
