Editor’s note: Golf Channel’s Alex O’Laughlin offers a first-hand account of her maiden trip to Augusta National.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — With the tees moved back and now playing 495 yards, much has been said about the par-4 fifth hole at Augusta National Golf Club. So much so, it led Justin Rose to say “I hit driver, 4-iron today and hit a good drive.”
Tucked off that fairway, however, is a clandestine heaven for golf fans: Berckmans Place.
I announced on my Instagram account Sunday that I had indeed secured a Berckmans Place pass for my first trip to the Masters.
