To answer some questions, no, Augusta National does not have a rain check policy. Just chalk it up to a loss for the day. But putting it in perspective, there were people that had a much worse story to tell. Buying badges off stubhub for $1k, flying in from the west coast, etc...
We never saw anyone overly upset with the staff or anything. Sad and frustrated, sure- but with weather- i mean there isnt anything you can do. If there is lightning around- you pretty much need to shut it down.
The only head scratcher was they wouldnt even let people shop for merch or stay inside the gate- away from the course during the evacuation. I wouldve been content hanging around drinking a few beers and buying some dope gear, but it wasnt meant to be.
For the 25 minutes or so that we were inside- it was pretty awesome. And during the 1st evacuation it became a tailgate party in the parking lot. Met some really cool folks from all over the map.
We'll try again in the lottery next year and hope for a better outcome
