I think the lush green fairways and greens will be easy to replicate in November.  They can overseed the course and get it green.  Plus, Augusta National shuts down and goes dormant in mid-to-late April, so it will staying "green" can occur if the weather stays warm in Georgia through November.

Regarding the flowers, I heard on a podcast that the azaleas they are famous for actually bloom twice, once in the spring and once in the fall, so there may be a decent amount of flowers around the course.  Plus, as you mentioned Augusta National will go to great measures to have the course look immaculate for the nation.

Seems like golf is one sport that could work with social distancing.   You don't *need* crowds.  Just have the caddies walk 6 feet behind the golfers.  Keep the production crew spread out.

^^Exactly!   The governor of Illinois already shut down all the public courses in the state.  And just today the police dept in my little town called my country club telling us we have to shut down too.  WTF??  Golf is (or was) one of the few sources of exercise left.   /sorry for rant
