Original 1992 U
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 Golf Club 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 - a handful
on the practice chipping green and 2 are used in the United States-shaped flower
beds in front of the clubhouse.
