There's been a mysterious secret green rumored to be at Augusta National for quite some time. This week, Google maps gave us proof that this green does actually exist...

Green 38 is, to a certain and tiny population of golf buffs, what Area 51, in the Nevada desert, is to a certain and tiny population of UFO buffs. It is a nearly mythic green that can plainly be seen in aerial photographs of the Augusta National Golf Club property.

...

There were four holes cut on Green 38, at last report, along with maybe two dozen or so balls laying on it, representing all the major manufacturers and some downright obscure ones. There were no mini-flagsticks in the holes, which were stuffed with balls holed by lunchtime and coffee-break putters. Green 38 is surrounded by course-maintenance buildings and parking spaces. The green may or may not be used by the course superintendents and club officials for various grass-growing experiments, but it is certainly used for recreational reasons. An unremarkable two-way putter, in the Spalding Cash-in tradition, is kept on the green, which is duller in color than the greens found on the big course.
