re: ? for anyone who has attended a Wednesday practice round at The Masters

Been twice. 09 & 19. Never crossed my mind to go to the Par 3 tournament. In 09 I walked the entire course twice just to see the different players and how they prepared for the tournament. The only time it was crowded was at the golf merchandise shop. Oriental guy in front of me bought $13,000.00 in merchandise and his credit card rejected the sale. After about 10 minutes he found out that he had a $5000.00 cap per purchase, so they broke the sale down to 3 purchases. 19 was a multi-fuster cluck. It rained so much on Tuesday that green mud was every where. There were so many patrons that it felt like a Mardi Gras crowd. 19 was the only time I won the ticket lottery. I have signed up for 13 straight years and won once. I took 3 buddies that had never been to the Masters and we only got to see 2/3 of the course in 10-1/2 hours due to the huge crowd & all the green mud.
