Green Augusta National Used
Flag
Presented here is one of the
most sought-after course-used golf flags in the world. Augusta National has
never sold a replica flag in its pro shop. Therefore, the only way to get an
authentic Augusta National flag is to get one that was actually used on the
course. Like all items that come from Augusta National, this is easier said
than done. While your local golf course might oblige if you ask them nicely for
a spare flag or offer to pay for its replacement, clearly this doesn't exactly
work at Augusta National. Members themselves are often turned away when
inquiring about getting a used flag for a guest. To make matters even worse,
Augusta has been known to destroy the used flags at the end of the season.
Two different
flags are used at Augusta National. Both are difficult to obtain, but this
Green Augusta National flag is virtually impossible to find. The yellow
Augusta National flag can be found throughout the 18 hole course and 9 hole
course; however, only a handful of the Green Augusta flags are used - 4 on the
practice chipping green and 2 are used in the United States-shaped flower bed in
front of the clubhouse.
Original, Green Augusta National
flags are virtually never offered for sale. This auction presents the rare
opportunity to obtain one. LOA from Green Jacket Auctions and Ryan Carey/Tourflags.com,
