In the past week, Hurricane Helene has caused significant destruction in the southeastern United States, including Augusta, Georgia, where the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club is located, known for hosting the Masters Tournament.

Following the storm, Fred Ridley, the course chairman, announced on Thursday morning that Augusta National sustained “a lot of damage.” However, the full impact of the damage remained largely unclear to those outside the Augusta area, as they relied on social media snapshots to understand how Helene affected the course.

Recently released drone footage provided a closer examination of the course, particularly focusing on Magnolia Lane, highlighting the destruction it experienced during the hurricane.
