EVERY golfer dreams of teeing it up at Augusta National.

And it is not impossible.

We've taken a look at all the ways you can do it...

1. Become a member

Augusta National only has 300 members but if you think there’s a chance of joining, we’ve got some bad news for you.

It’s virtually impossible. The general rule of thumb is that if you have to ask about becoming a member then you’re probably not welcome.

In other words, it’s strictly by invitation only and those invites only tend to go out when a membership lapses i.e. when someone dies.

Do you have to be minted to join?

Not necessarily, although when you consider that some of the current members include billionaires like Microsoft founder Bill Gates and the investor Warren Buffett, it clearly helps.

And you don’t have to be that good at golf either.

According to one caddie, the average handicap is around the 15 mark.

Previously women were not permitted to become members but they bowed to public pressure in 2012 and accepted their first two female members at Augusta, former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the billionaire investor Darla Moore.

So how much does it cost to join?

Well, it’s thought that while it’s expensive – the initial fee is said to be between £19,000 and £30,000 – it’s nowhere near the most expensive golf club in the world.

Factor in subscription fees of around £230 a month and you’ll see that it’s pretty good value compared to other, less exclusive clubs.

2. Be invited by a member

This is your best chance, as long as you know one of the members and they sign you in as a guest.

But the Augusta National’s membership policy is a closely guarded secret - so finding a member who will invite you is not as easy as it sounds.

The good news is that any guest expense gets billed to the member.

And the member does not have to play with his/her guests, but does have to be on the property.
