My wife’s granddad has gotten 4 weeklong passes every year since the 60s, but I’ve never sniffed one unfortunately. Her uncle rents his house in Westlake for the week to Kevin Plank and the tickets go with it.
We used to go to the practice rounds all of the time.
You could walk up and buy cheap tickets!
went from age 8-14... only a few times since. Would love to go back and take some friends.
We live in the Reynolds Plantation area so we have a ton of traffic for our tiny town.
We shut down our Aiken location for masters because it is d e a d.
i’ll take bubba or kisner anyday. also wouldn’t mind McIlroy, Fleetwoood, or Fowler.
It's too exclusive for my blood. I'll watch on TV like most everybody else.
You pay $2500.00 or so just for a Thursday badge, then you only see about 6% of the play at best, and usually while trying to see over 10 or 20 people in front of you, no thanks.
It’s more about being at a historic place, even if you’re not into golf. As well as seeing the landscape (crazy what you can do to a golf course with an unlimited budget). Practice rounds are the way to go, or now the Women’s tournament or drive, chip, and putt. They’re much cheaper. Also, a month or so after the tournament you can go to The Masters, Women’s, and DCP websites and enter a lottery to get tickets for next year. Face value (depending on event or day) ranges from about $25-$100/ticket.
Teddy. I get that it's not about standing all day and straining to see a small bit of a single round. I guess the novelty of wanting to be near history has worn off. I've never been what Mick Jagger famously called a ''star f***r, but now even meeting stars has little to no appeal to me.
I too, don't care about meeting stars. That's why I didn't mention that.
You don’t go for just golf lol. You go for cheap beer, cheap food, the pro shop, then sit in amen corner with your sunglasses on checking out all the talent.
teddy. events like The Masters are about two things, actually watching golf, or star f....g.
Being where the action is, etc, etc, call it what you will. I just don't have that desire.
No, it's not just about those two things.
You are correct and as usual he is blabbering to himself
Reminds me of Steve Martin's classic "Grandmother's Song."
Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant
Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
***Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about***
Be oblong and have your knees removed...
I've gone to a couple practice rounds in the past just to see the course like you. said. Have had to point out many times that you can do lots of things to a course if the money is there to do it. Most golfers have no idea what it takes to keep a course in good condition even though they may play quite a bit. Have passed up free tickets in the past for tournament rounds.
Got asked spur of moment who my pick was. Radio guy in town asked while was coming out of the local Mexican restaurant earlier tonight. I went with Rory. Told my wife that may be on the radio in the morning
Well I should have read farther before my post. But I'll stick with it anyway
Definitely on my bucket list. Good lord willing maybe next year for a day or two. How much are tickets for practice rounds ?
