There are people here only to say they were in Augusta at the Masters. They buy the souvenirs, mingle with the crowds after each day, etc. It is crazy. I've met some strange people.I enjoy golf a lot more than I should but I love the Masters week. It's usually the weekend of my birthday (April 6th) and I have always wanted to play there/watch the Masters in person. As you said tho, Memberships are rare and getting tickets to it is just as bad
Probably coming out to work at SRS? We have many many people that come in from out of town, my boss for one. They can't afford hotels because they go from $100 a night to $500 a night that week.
It wasn't SRS- it was a manufacturing company right on the GA/SC border. Hotels were between $500-$600 a night in that particular town so we had to get them booked in Greenwood SC. Two guys opted to drive from home, which was 3 hours each way per day for about 3 solid weeks. Not so bad when you're getting paid OT+ and $0.60 a mile or whatever it was.
I wouldn't want to be in a hotel anywhere in the CSRA right now.Ah ok. Ya we are on the GA/SC border and our hotels are insane right now.
How far away from Augusta did you get? I can't seem to escape the place.I lived in Augusta for 10 years. Basically you go shopping for anything and everything prior to the Masters, because Washington Rd and the surrounding area becomes one huge traffic jam.

I would have taken your tickets!I was invited to go/offered tickets, but like yourself I am not a fan of golf--in any capacity.
My back yard is 800 yards off Range Rd on Ft. Gordon.Closest I ever got was Fort Gordon.

Every year sir.Its funny- I live in Greenwood and when I used to be in the bars all the time there would be swarms of tourist people out every night because they are here for the Masters..

Just hang out around Surrey Center. The zoo is in town. HahahaYA and we (my wife and kids) want to go to the Zoo Friday. Hope the rain holds off.
It's nice to meet another local member here. I was beginning to feel like a lone survivor.I live right off Walton Way these days. I'm going in early and trying to leave right on time. Traffic is manageable. Still worse than usual though. I should move back where @GodStang is.
