With less than a week until 2025 masters, it’s officially the time to get excited.
I can smell Azalea from here.
If you are participating in the tour, hope you have an explosion. Few things in life live completely up to the hype but masters do it.
We have a ton of resources focused on protection here for you. Maybe you want to watch our History “The perfect one-day itinerary for the master’s patrons for the first time” History “ that was published a year ago or read a Sorting the best food items offering masters in its known concessions affordable.
Look for “masters” on this site and you will find a set of coverage that will grow next week.
This story here is a direct list of the 16 things that every master of the masters must experience.
If you are looking to merge your day – whether it’s the next week or years from now – here are the experiences that simply I have to have In your limited time in Augusta National.
1. See Amen Corner in peace (and then Pandemonium)
You had to know that this would go to the top of the list.
Amen angle -area about 11 green, 12th and 13th hole -is probably the most sacred land in the whole game.
In my aforementioned itineraryI recommend that customers enjoy Amen Corner in relative loneliness (early in the morning when foot traffic is easier) and in his busiest (afternoon noon or when they reach leaders) to get the full picture of why it is so special.
Likes how to get into a historical hat – a quiet one has its gravites and so does a stuffed one.
In terms of viewing golf experiences, nothing is more spiritual.
You can try to get a good place near the rope line, stay among the masses or decide for ancestors – all are great options even though I would not personally put a chair in the eighth or ninth row. You are not benefiting much at that point, so the chair is best used elsewhere.
2. Make a picture in the founders circle
One of the delightful parts of the masters is that you are allowed to take a photo in front of the club in Magnolia Lane, the most famous Golf course entrance.
It is a free photo taken by a masters employee and you get a card with a QR code so that you can use it later (Because, of course, no phone allowed).
No personal photos are allowed here, but this is not a lot of problem given the quality of the picture you are taking from the masters.
And it does not mean that you have to bring 100 percent a camera (if you participate during the practice rounds) and take as many photos as possible elsewhere on the property.
3. Spend a lot of money in the trade village
Look, many masters clients participate only in tours once.
You are allowed to spray a little. Would you prefer to repent NO Buying that Pullover or would you prefer to regret having A master’s Pullover?
The latter is every time.
If you are a better person than me and have the limitation of not buying anything, I still recommend taking a walk through the village of trade near the North Gate (the largest of the two shops).
This is a very impressive operation. The exact amount of money the masters make in the goods is unknown but is reported to be greater than $ 1 million per hour.
4 Try as many concession items as possible
Masters’ concessions are a staple element of the tournament.
It’s not just a necessity to eat there – you will want to come hungry.
This is also a situation of “airport rules” when it is social acceptable to eat or drink everything you want at any time of the day.
My top articles include peach ice cream sandwich, a real gift from gods and egg salad sandwich. However, I would go crazy and buy everything possible, including the new tomato pie for-2025.
If you bought one of everything, it would be about $ 70. Yes, that’s everything!
5. Look at the players passing the balls through the water in the 16th hole
One of the traditions of great masters is during the rounds of practice when players reach the 16th hole.
Once the players hit their shooting, customers will start to encourage players to “cross” – it means throwing a ball down in front of the pond and sending a fist blow to the other side.
Sitting on the left hill of the basin or anywhere around that area is an absolute necessity.
If you are coming during the rounds of the tournament, I would change this to say “spend an hour or two around the 16th hole” – is just a magical section of the course.
6 Walk from TEE 10th to 10th turkey
The most unexpected stunning walk to Augusta National is from 10th to 10th Green.
The altitude change is stunning. No amount of mental preparation can prepare you for that walk.
What a wonderful golf hole. Everything about it. It is such a underestimated part of the property.
On this walk, you will spend the place where Bubba Watson hit his iconic purpose from the trees on his way to win the 2012 masters. Now is a tree there.
Green is surrounded by tall pines. The definition of “peaceful”.
7. Stand around the Great Lis tree near the club
So far, the most famous golf course tree that does not go into the game, the big oak in the back of the Angc club is the place of meeting for players, cadets, agents, media and anyone you can mention in the Golf world.
While most customers do not have access to stay TO Underneath, they can stand along the rope line and cool for 20 minutes, only the people who watch.
You will have to believe me about it. It’s such a cute place.
8 Make a call for a girlfriend from the phone bank
Most of us have not used a cord phone since… well, since those of us have never I used a born.
You have to make an exception only this time. Go to a telephone bank (there is one at the North Gate course and one after 16 Tee near the Gate South course entrance) and make a call to someone who will appreciate seeing the “Augusta National Golf Club” appearing on their caller ID.
And, you know, fill them on how your day is going. (Correct answer: “is going well.”)
9. Sit on the 6th hill of holes and have players “hit over your head”
That’s a small one, but a good one.
Once you have finished with the 16th hole, take the short hill walk in the sixth hole, where you sit and look at the green.
The players leave behind you, but the hole is downward, so the ball will fly over you without knowing when a stroke is hit (except the strike sound).
It is a delightful feature and something you rarely see in professional golf.
10. Make long walks around the 5th and 14th greens
In your list of holes you want to see, I am assuming that no.5 and 14 are pretty low in that list.
That’s right. However, while you do not need to visit the length of both holes, I LOT Recommend to stop in these two greens so that you can stroll around them and get an appreciation for their false fronts and the severity of the slope.
You can bury some elephants in both of these greens. For my money, they are the two most dramatic green complexes on the course.
11. Spend some time around the practice area
While not at the same level with the first course, the practice area is world -class and extraordinary.
For those who enter through the North Gate, the area of practice is your presentation in the green grass you’ve ever seen.
A good opportunity is to eat lunch in the rays of practices, looking at the best players in the world’s shots to repeat. This gives you time to rest immediately during a strict day of walking.
12. Stand in the corner of the rope line near the 13th of the 13th
Surely a higher photographic opportunity on the property, I think every protector should be raised on the rope line, as close as the customers can get, near the 13th green.
This is probably the most famous par-5 in the world. Pop Azaleas and sand is blindly white. The property rate surprisingly comes to the focus of the cozy angle.
You can spend a lot of time here and you will be justified to do so.
13. View the PAR-3 course
This will not be for the tournament rounds, but I encourage everyone to walk through the PAR-3 course.
For those who attend Wednesday, it is a tradition to set up a chair somewhere sweet and watch the legends.
While the Par 3 competition is not my favorite (overestimated if you do not have children), it is still worth seeing. Wednesday patrons will want to experience the energy of being in a master gallery and you will discover it here.
14. Have a picnic embedded in relative loneliness in the 18th green
One of my annual traditions is to get a Pimento cheese sandwich and a sweet tea – two things I never have except in the masters – and sit on the 18th green before each player arrives.
I just like the thought of imagining all the moments that have happened in that green in the 90 years since the masters began.
Catch your favorite concession item and sit in a chair about green. The less talking in a few minutes, the better.
15. But also climb up to 18th to see how tight it is
Opinions differ in this.
Half of the people I talk about to say that the 18th hole is wider personally than they thought it would be; The other half has a golf nightmare for the next month after seeing it.
My opinion is that it is narrow. Maybe not for the good, but of course for me.
There is only one way to form your opinion. Head all the way back and see someone hitting a hard blow.
16. Do a random conversation with a stranger
Master patrons are some of the most civilized people on the planet.
Everyone is ecstatic to be there. And there are no phones, so everyone is living in the moment.
Would find it very difficult to go a full day without To find yourself in a conversation with a stranger, but I think part of the magic of the masters is looking for it.
My movement is to walk close to someone and go, “That’s very delightful.”
The simple act of being amazed is a beginner of masters. And you meet the most beautiful people doing it.
So these are 16 things that I think everyone should experience as protectors. What did I miss? And what would it be on your list?
