     Course Name:  Augusta National Golf Club, annual home of The Masters
     Location:     Augusta, Georgia
     Length/Par:   3,465/36 - 3,440/36  -  6,905/72
     Designer:     Alister Mackenzie, Robert Tyre Jones Jr.

                   else is new about Augusta National.
     
     Thanks to:    Scott Chesney:  for his pines which he has created with JNUG
                   for various courses.  Although I've adapted these trees to the SE
                   pallette, everyone of these pines are Scott's originals

                   John Kunyik: for his new pallette editor, which was the
                   key to being able to do some of the April coloring that
                   we all associate with Augusta National at Masters time

This is my official "update" to JNSE of the Augusta National I created for
JNUG in November 1991.  This replaces a preliminary SE upgrade I released 
just before the 1992 Masters for friends who were anxious to play along with 
the pros.

With the increased difficulty in scoring that is imposed by JNSE, there is
no longer the need as there was in JNUG to "trick up" a course in order to
have it play similarly to the real course.  I've attempted to model
Augusta National as realistically as I can, with much wider fairways than in
my JNUG rendition.  At the same time, I've increased some of the mounding
and deepened many of the traps to reflect what I saw on TV in watching this
year's Masters broadcast.  Since JNSE can present elevation differences
much more accurately without going "cubist", I was able to do some elevations
that I held back on in JNUG.

While getting from tee to green should be fairly straightforward for most of
us, the greens are punishing if you are far away... or if you hit your
approach on the wrong side of the hole.  If I've done a good job here, you'll
have to use your acquired knowledge of Augusta National from TV viewing to
plan your approaches.  For example, stay below the cup on the 9th with your 
approach.
