This golf course in Augusta, Ga., can be yours for $2.5 million (no, not that one) – Australian Golf Digest
It’s never too early to start making plans to attend the Masters. In fact, you’re probably too late if you’re trying to find a hotel room within 20 miles of Augusta National for this April’s events, but if you’re interested in a longer-term play—and have a bit of room in your budget—you could secure the ultimate location to host buddies/Masters trips every year.
Goshen Plantation Golf Club—one of the few public courses within the city limits of Augusta—is up for sale, and if you have $2.5 million, you might even be able to close before the big tournament. The 1968 Ellis Maples design checks in at a sturdy 7,400 yards from the tips and has been the subject of a two-year rolling renovation by current owner Spike Kelley, a former PGA Tour player and winner of the 1975 Buick Open.

The 210-acre property has a 25,000 plantation-style clubhouse with a snack bar and banquet room and even includes a 1,900-square-foot apartment where the new owner could live and immediately hit the ground (or Masters grounds) running.
Green fees range from $28 to $49—cart included—and there are robust junior, senior and women’s programs in place. The club calls its practice area “Augusta’s best driving range,” but might be a bit of hyperbole considering the warm-up cathedral Augusta National built in 2010. Still, Augusta Magazine’s former “Best Public Course” winner is no dog track, and a prospective owner could certainly gain from the traditional 200 percent to 300 percent rate surges local courses typically deploy during Masters week.

Georgia governor candidate Olu Brown campaigns in Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Olu Brown visited Augusta on Friday evening, stopping near the Sand Hills Community Center as early voting continues.
Brown is one of six candidates in the Democratic primary.
Campaign priorities
Brown said his vision as governor would focus on three main areas.
“One, it’s affordability around health care and making sure we expand Medicaid and expand Peach Care and make sure we continue to make our rural health care systems healthy and vital,” Brown said. “Number two, we’ve got to address education in all of Georgia, making sure every kid in Georgia gets an excellent education, and we’re paying our teachers more. And number 3, we’re protecting the rights of all women. Folks in the Gold Dome shouldn’t be making decisions about their bodies or the choices that they make.”
Brown is running against Amanda Duffy, Derrick Jackson, Geoff Duncan, Jason Esteves, Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mike Thurmond.

Augusta Prep student arrested over picture of LEGO gun, threat he called a joke
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – An Augusta Prep student was arrested on a charge of terroristic threats over a picture of a LEGO gun he posted on social media.
It happened Wednesday, according to an incident report from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.
Eric Hedinger, the principal of Augusta Preparatory Day School, told deputies a student had uploaded a picture to Snapchat of a “pistol” with the caption “shooting up the school so I don`t have to take the stats exam tomorrow. Don`t come yall!”
The principal said he spoke to the student and his father about the photo.
The principal also provided deputies with the student’s address in Grovetown.
A deputy went there and was told by the student that the “pistol” was a LEGO set that he had built.

He also said the comment he made was supposed to be a joke because he was not looking forward to taking his Advanced Placement statistics test this week.
The student showed the deputy the box that the LEGO set came in, and how the set was already disassembled.
The deputy also looked in the boy’s room to make sure he was not in possession of any weapons.
The mother advised that there was one firearm in the residence but it was locked up.

The deputy contacted Judge Leslie Morgan and she issued a warrant for terroristic threats.
The student, age 18, was taken into custody and transported to the Columbia County Detention Center.
News 12 is not reporting his name or publishing his photo since the LEGO gun could not have actually harmed anyone.
