If you're attending the Masters Tournament this week and you get to Augusta National Golf Club early enough, you'll likely want to find a good place to see what kind of start the players get off to.

The grandstand to the right of the tee on hole No. 4 provides an ideal spot for spectators to witness how the field gets through the first few holes of the front nine.

The leaderboard dead ahead of the grandstand and across the No. 3 green lets you know how each group has fared through the first two holes.

Fans have the opportunity to peer down the third fairway to see the landing area for tee shots at the par-4, 350-yard hole known as Flowering Peach.

At nearly any vantage point from the grandstand, approach shots into the third green are directly in front and slightly down a hill from the fourth tee, providing an ideal bird's-eye view of the triangular green.

After the players putt out on No. 3, they climb the short but fairly steep hill to the No. 4 tee, which almost seems to sit almost underneath you, offering up a stadium-type view.

Hole No. 4, or Flowering Crab Apple, has been lengthened to a sizeable 240-yard par-3, one of the hardest on the course.

The world's best golfers are merely feet away as they hit long irons, woods or hybrids into No. 4, the third-hardest hole all-time at the Masters.

The grandstand butts so close up to the tee that it seems you could almost reach out and touch the golfers if you were able to lean over the guarded rail.

Because the grandstand runs parallel to the fourth hole, and because it plays almost 250 yards, fans often have to stand after a competitor plays his tee shot to see its trajectory and its landing point on the distant green.

Still, most spots are not denied the view of each shot's outcome.

Grandstand spectators also can watch as players blast out of the front bunker, chip up or putt out on the fourth green, before the golfers disappear into the trees behind the green, headed to the No. 5 tee.
