WATCH: Augusta National Mid-Summer Drone Flyover
Wonder what Augusta looks like mid-summer without all the grandstands and patrons?

WATCH: Augusta National Mid-Summer Drone Flyover
When asked what golf course you'd like to play, of any in the world, most would answer Augusta National.
That's because every April we see it presented in phenomenal condition, looking like a dreamland.
We have memories of it from our childhood, watching the world's best late on Sunday evening tackle the famous holes we all know so well.
However, this drone flyover video shows the course mid-summer looking a little less manicured than we're used to seeing.
The course is closed from May until October, hence why it doesn't look it's best, but it's still interesting to see what it looks like without all the grandstands and patrons.
