Masters Practice Rounds

Def a great way to see Augusta without the throng of fans. Don’t get me wrong there are still a lot of “patrons” there but not quite as many. There are always tickets to be had if you want to pay the scalpers

I actually won Tuesday practice rounds tickets from the lottery. The practice round was awesome, got to follow Tiger, Phil, and Freddie. After we went to Hooters in Augusta and guys were selling practice rounds tickets in there, I have no idea how much though, didn't ask because we were playing at Palmetto the next morning. We stayed in Aiken, SC, not a bad drive to Augusta at all. Hope some of this info helps.

Never been to a tournament round but have been to all 3 practice round days. Each have their pluses. Walking out there when the gates open Monday morning and seeing the course in all its glory, having yet to be trampled on is a site to behold. There will be a lot of players there, but it won’t be all of them. It’s a great time to walk the course. Tuesday is the best day to watch the players. They’re all there and really working on shots, angles, different lies and getting it figured out. Wednesday with the par 3 and all the legends, wives, kids is fantastic. If you get a good spot you can get right up on them, but you will have to sacrifice a lot of your time on the main course if you post up at the par 3. I guess if I had to pick my favorite of the three practice round days it would be Tuesday. But they’re all great, obviously. Never have I seen them allow cell phones. If they do that it’s something they just started in the last 2-3 years. You can however bring a camera. First year I went my buddy got drawn for Monday. Next year I put in and got drawn for Wednesday. 2 years later I got drawn again but for Tuesday. No luck the last few years.

Get to the course when it opens. Get your shopping down immediately. But don’t hit the main shop by the entrance. Get in, and cut over to 16. There is an equally nice gift shop with a fraction of the people. Buy your shite and get them to hold it. Pick it up on the way out. Pound beer and sandwiches and walk the course if it’s your first time. By 3-4 o’clock you’re going to be spent. Which is fine. Collect your stuff, hit the room, shower and go post up at the bar at TBonz or Reinhardts early enough to get a table. Act like you have some money. The tour bunny’s will find you

You can’t take your cell phone in. You can take a camera in for the practice rounds. So you can take pictures of players and the course. Wednesday let’s you see the par 3 contest.

This will be our first year going Monday - can’t wait

Funny - can’t even get tickets to the AWA on Saturday - those tickets are $500+ each on ticket sites

Wow didn’t realize how strict the cell phone rule is. No sweat for my dad, he’s the only person I know that doesn’t own one!
