re: Heading to The Masters

Is there anywhere close by you can walk to and hang out while you wait for traffic to disperse?

I'm so jelly. We went last year on Monday and it rained out. We did get a couple hours in. First thing we did was hit the pro shop when we entered and then just grabbed some brews/sandwiches and strolled the course. Very few things live up to their hype in live, the Masters is one of them. Enjoy

Hooters is your best bet. Washington Road is pretty run down. I've also gone to the grocery across the street and just bought some beer and "tailgated" in the parking lot while we waited.

If you stay at the Partridge Inn, they have a shuttle that runs all day which is key.

ETA: looks like the dance club "VUE" has closed...

so 1st thing I should do is go to gift shop, buy all the souvenirs bring it back to the bus

No need to bring them back. They have a bag check for free right next to the gift shop. Or you can give them your stuff and ship it back.

No, frick them.

You are going about this the wrong way if that's your mindset. You basically have Christmas taken care of this year if you utilize the gift that's been dropped into your lap.

Going for the Monday practice round, first timer. From what I've gathered on TD and from friends, my plan is:

Get there early early, as soon as they open gates go to gift shop

Buy souvenirs and return them to car because line to retrieve could be long

Purchase Masters chairs and set them up at #12 or somewhere comparable.

Walk the entire course

Set up shop at chairs, eat/drink, stroll around following a couple of guys


We are staying at a house in Reynolds Plantation, super pumped

Id like to add write down someone you knows number to call from the courtesy phones. Ask them what they are doing, when they ask what you are doing, let them know

I have a pretty good friend whose family has had several passes for 20 or 30 years. Forget how many he said. They're from that area. He's never offered me any, and I've never asked. His uncle is kind of a dick about them from what I've gathered. Friend's wife has only been once or twice, and only for one day the times she has gone, and they've been married almost 20 years.

Yeah, I get that. I've gathered though that my friend's uncle plays favorites within the family. Friend's wife practically begs to go every year, and has only been a couple of times in 20 years. Friend's kids have begged to go, and never have. Meanwhile, friend's cousin(uncle's son) takes his wife and 3 kids every year. Friend's dad and uncle were brothers, so it's not like their distant relatives. His uncle has also supposedly taken several of his co-workers over the years.

shite like that. Of course I'm just hearing my friend's side so it may not be all that accurate.
