Pretty unlikely just by numbers
If there were, you'd never know….they don't broadcast it.
If their are and if they happen to see this post I'd gladly reciprocate a round at TPC Bellville for a round at ANGC. I'll buy the beer also.

Possible that some of the energy CEOs may have been invited to join. But as others have said, I think that broadcasting that you're a member is a good way to get your membership terminated.
If there are members please PM me. I'm looking to play there and I'm a 30 handicap.
I don't know but if that poster wally starts a thread asking if anyone wants to take a quick weekender out there to try and get on, I'm making the 28 hour round trip with him just in case.
I'll trade a round at Pine Valley or Merion East for a quick round at Augusta.
I'll trade a hundred rounds at Sherrill Park #1 for a round at Pine Valley
I'll trade one round at Tenison Glen for one hundred rounds at Sherrill Park #1.
I'll trade a round with my wife for a round at Augusta.

Shouldn't we see the wife first before deciding whether or not that's a winner?
Unpopular take - 1 round at Cypress Point = 5 rounds at Augusta.

I think it's a valid opinion.
Honestly I don't know enough about Pine Valley or Cypress Point to be able to say I'd rather play at one of those than play Augusta.
Ever since I went to The Masters in 2011 I've been obsessed with it. No question in my mind that AGNC would be my choice if I had a golden ticket.
Two questions.
1. How much would you pay to play Augusta if that was an option? (I think I could scrape together $10,000 for a round.)
2. You are given the chance to play Augusta, however, you have this dilemma. The round is free if you can make one birdie, playing from the tips, as it is set up for the pros. If you fail to make a birdie you spend one year in jail. (I think I would have to sit that one out.)

I think my only chance at a birdie would be a lucky shot on 12. Maaaayybe if I got a good roll out on 11 and hit a good wedge.
1 year in jail (white collar) might be worth it if I got to play a round at Augusta. So yeah, I'd take that bet.
Can't blame you - its a beautiful place and watching the event every year will make you wonder how you would play the holes, etc. Plus the common view by many is that its the best course in the world. All my friends give me crap for insisting that my number 1 bucket list course is Cypress Point.bagger05 said:jonj101 said:

I'm grateful for the two times I've been to the Masters and would like to go back. But I look forward to the day I can walk the holes at Cypress Point.
I'm going to go to Pine Valley one of these days for the Crump Cup. From what I've read you basically get to roam freely around the course. Sounds like a really cool/unique spectating experience.
Not aware of any way to even look around at Cypress. Thus my plan is to just get really rich and important where I have the freedom to do dope s##t all the time.

My best chances to pull off option 2 would be holes 3, 12, 13 (laying up), 15 (laying up) and 16 with the Sunday pin so I could play the ridge. I'd give my self a solid 25% chance. Getting to play Augusta might be worth those odds.Texmid said:

A surprisingly high amount of the Bandon caddies have played Cypress. Mainly, they get an in by caddying for some rich dude that has connections.
I plan to do that as well at the Crump cup - though I was under the impression that spectators can only go one day of the competition. I'll have to double check that.
In 2025 the Walker Cup will be held at Cypress Point. I'm planning on being a spectator for that. Of course if I can get invited by a member or make the Walker Cup team that would be awesome as well.

I've always thought it would be really fun to caddie. Doing the actual job, not the lifestyle.

McKnight died in 2004. Lol. So I guess my list of members is NOT current!

I'd take my chances at making a birdie on 13.
Except when they walk around in their green jackets during Masters week.BLSD said:

The lifestyle looks pretty good too. To me at least. Lots of them at bandon have retired from a decent job and are living the dream on the Oregon coast. If you get senior enough, you can choose your hours, to a degree.
I've seriously considered trying it since it wouldn't be much of a move for me. I need to get a lot better at golf though.
My impression of "the lifestyle" is that they're like gypsies or carneys without the moving from place to place.

Definitely a ski bum, fishing bum, etc lifestyle to it. Addin the typically west coast stuff, and yeah, pretty close to carneys.

Not a member but played both and have connections to both. In a pinch I'd call in all the favors I had to play Augusta
