You're an avid golfer. What's your favorite golf course?
I think every golfer, whether you're a scratch golfer or a beginner, dreams of playing at Augusta National in Augusta, Ga. It's an historic, beautiful and challenging course that every golfer should play at least once. I played it - loved it!
