The Value of going to College....

[Hairpie]

I'm Augusta bound!

Received a phone call this afternoon from a college roomie who now works in Atlanta....He proceeds to tell me that he's got passes for Saturday at the Masters....Not just passes, but passes for the corporate hospitality tent....All I have to do is get my butt to Atlanta....After taking on a bit of CC debt and making the arrangements through work I am now Augusta bound!....I'm still a bit in shock and love the fact that I have a golf trained wife....I got off the phone and she said I looked like someone had died...I explained to her the situation and the first words out of her mouth were, "If you can get there for less than a $1000 you HAVE to go"....I didn't even have to explain to her that this is the Holy Grail for any golfer. Just another reason why I love her...I have a quick ?? for anyone who's made the trip...Will I be allowed to bring a camera?....Not to take pics inside but I'd love to get a shot of me and my buddy at the entrance to the course, infront of the clubhouse. etc....Just wondering if this is going to be possible or will I have to hoof the camera back to the car?.....Thanks in advance for any responses...

I just got back from going Monday. For the practice rounds you can have a camera but not for tournament days. You'll have to leave it at the car.

 

Recommendations:

1. Buy stuff first and do the "checkstand" thing...trust me.

2. If you want to see Tiger, go ahead of him.

3. Try a pimento sandwich or two...even if you don't like it, you can say you had one.

4. Take an armless folding chair so you can set up shop around a hole...you don't need to stay there, your seat won't get stolen...but at least you'll have a place to come back to.

5. Enjoy!

 

It was the most amazing experience at a golf course I've ever had (well...maybe...my ace while playing with my Uncle was pretty special) and almost like a religious experience.

 

Have fun!
