2024 The Masters
Posted on 3/4/23 at 6:15 am
Posted on 3/4/23 at 6:15 am
I told my wife that 2023 was the year I started turning "One Day" into "Today" so I am making the decision now to buy a package for the 2024 Masters.
I have lost the lottery for probably over two decades and still undecided if I want to do just a practice round or a practice round and a tournament round but in any event, does anyone here have a package company they have used or can recommend?
I would be looking for something more than just a tourney badge and something with accommodations would be event better.
TIA

I've done practice rounds and tournament days. I'd highly recommend a tournament day. Practice round days allow you to see the course, which is a lot of the reason to go, but it is tough to watch golf. Some guys only play 9 and you have no idea when they will go off. You could be on 12 on one side of the golf course and Tiger goes off 1 and you'll never see him. Tournament rounds are controlled. So you know who is on the course and where they are. You can sit on 16 and know who is coming through and know they'll be through acer 15 minutes or so. If you sit on 16 during a practice round, you may not see anyone for an hour. It all just depends.
If you get tickets- go. But if you get to choose- choose tournament day.

If you've never been before, then the mix of practice/competition rounds might be good because you could take pictures during the practice round.
I've been each year for a few years now (exception of Covid years), and I hate that I have no pics from the course, or with my group of buddies on the course.
What I will say about using a package company - is make sure it's very clear, before you get there, how you can use the badges. I've talked to a lot of guys on the course or out at night that have said they only got to be on the grounds for half the day, because the companies rotate people through on the same badge. So, when you factor in the time it takes to make it through the gift shop, get some food, and walk a few holes...you don't have a lot of time and don't get to really take in the atmosphere.
This is an old friends company that does packages:

Let me know if you wind-up going next year.

Only been to a practice round.
Getting to bring a camera is definitely worthwhile.
In general Tuesdays is always the best practice round day for majors. Most guys will definitely play at least 9 on Tuesday. Some guys take Wednesdays off but the Masters has the benefit of the par 3 on Wednesday if you care and want to bundle it with Thursday for convenience.
My practice round was a spur of the moment decision the day before. It was the Woods / Mickelson vs Couples / Pieters match. Had plenty of time to follow their group for 9 holes, then walk the other 9 and see a bunch of different guys along the way.
Made it to Hooters to see John Daly before sunset on top of all that.

Go Wednesday practice round and Thursday round! Get you package thru My Bucket List Tickets.com....the owner is Brian Peters which I have used for tickets to final four, Kentucky Derby and US Open tennis. My Bucket List Tickets packages are offered thru ClubCorp golf courses or thru the Website. 1st class operation!
