AUGUSTA, Ga. – Less than 24 hours before making his first trip to the Masters as a participant, Keith Mitchell was getting some last-minute preparation on putting and chipping surfaces as firm and fast as anything you’ll find outside the storied confines at Augusta National.
Frederica Golf Club is annually known for doing an impressive impersonation of the impossible - getting greens close to as fast as PGA Tour pros will see at the Masters.
“A few days ago the greens were rolling about 13 [on the Stimpmeter] and they said they were going to try and get them a smidge faster to get ready for the [Masters],” Mitchell said.
