5 Pro Tips For First Time Masters Patrons

The patrons enjoying the day. No phones means you can enjoy your time without interruption.

The Masters. The golf, the patrons, Magnolia Lane, pimento cheese sandwiches....wait, what? Yes, pimento cheese sandwiches. There is nothing like walking the course and having lunch while looking out over the world's prettiest place on earth, full of the best golfers. But, let's face it, not everyone will be able to go, but you can eat like you're at the Masters!

I did this one year. They call it Taste of the Masters Hosting Kit, serving 12-14 people. Pimento cheese, egg salad, Masters' potato chips, Masters'souvenir plastic cups, a pack of 12 coasters, and don't forget the Masters' cookies!

Eat like you're at the Masters.

The only thing you'll need to buy extra is the bread. It doesn't ship well. I recommend Captain John Derst's bread if you can find it.

I am constantly amazed when I go to the tournament at the prices of food and drink. It has to be the most affordable food at a major sports event. Ten bucks will get you a few sandwiches, a soft drink or beer, and a cookie, and you'll get change. I've been to a few NFL games, and $10 will barely get you a beer.

After a long day on the course, Downtown Augusta is an excellent option for foodies, too!

More fun food stuff! Who doesn't love Chick-fil-A?

Tee has worked with KICKS 99 for over 24 years as Operations Manager and Program Director and is on-air each afternoon 3p-7p. When he’s not working, you’ll find him traveling the back roads, taking pictures, and searching for the next dive diner. Favorite place to visit? That’s easy. Folly Beach, SC. He’s usually there at least a few times a year. He lives in North Augusta and on Saturdays in the fall, you’ll find him cooking out and watching his Clemson Tigers. Tee likes to write about travel, Augusta local dive bars and diners and destinations in the Carolinas, as well as new business.
