Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc throughout the American southeast the last week. One of the affected areas was Augusta, Georgia, home of Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament.
After the hurricane passed, course chairman Fred Ridley made a statement Thursday morning claiming that Augusta National had suffered “a lot of damage.” However, the extent of the damage was mostly unknown to anyone outside of the Augusta community, relying solely on posts from social media to give a brief glance at how Helene affected the course.
However, new drone footage has offered a more detailed look at the course, specifically Magnolia Lane, and the damage it succumbed to during the hurricane.
