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 Par 3
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 beds
in front of the clubhouse.
