Got there in 2002 for Saturday and Sunday rounds as part of a business deal and was able to have my Dad come along. It's a special place and I am lucky to be able to go there and hang out there with him........ we still talk about it.

[firstgenaddict]

Gave my tickets away this year... can see it better on TV anyway...

Story about Boom Boom... my brother and I were sitting on the 2nd tee box back in the mid 90's and Freddy comes up pushes his tee in the ground...throws the ball down and is tapping it back and forth on the tee box waiting for the fairway to clear... when it does he proceeds to roll the ball onto the tee with the driver, one handed (please try to do this and report back...) he then placed the driver head behind the ball and decided it was tee'ed too high he tapped the ball and tee into the ground and then with one motion went into his back swing and crushed the ball right down the center... unfreakin believeable...

It's the bad Ju-Ju I wrote about earlier....Hopefully he can get it back under control and make it to the weekend~
He's only 7 stokes back at this point and if it was Tiger, people would be saying he's still in the hunt!

[WILMASBOYL78]

Plus 8 cut for the weekend....Els is gone ..Sergio too..the big boys are still there..VJ, Tiger and Phil....glad to see Freddie made the cut...23 in a row..!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

The longest active streak of any player http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[GRB]

With a triple on #1 it looks like lefty is out. Should come down to Woods, Appleby and Paddy. My money is on Tiger. The wind IS blowing!

[WILMASBOYL78]

The kid from Iowa did it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif...Zach Johnson wins the green jacket....it's good for the game to have these types of winners occasionally...makes the big boys work harder..!!

Good call Charlie, Now I got my eye on this horse at Belmont......

Furyk bogeying the last hole cost me a win and a grand. Or I could blame that POS Casey for his bogies on 17 and 18.

Saw all the guys coming through. It was awesome!!

The past 5 years I have gone to Augusta for Masters week in a "work" related capacity due to my knowledge of the area (I lived there for 6 years in the 90's). I will tell you that if you want tickets bad enough they can be had...for a price. I can't say what tourney tickets go for, but this year the practice round tickets were going for around $300 and this is for a ticket with face value of $36. And no I do not have any tickets to sell, my tickets have always been part of the job package if I want to go on my off time, it would be tacky to sell gratis tickets.

[ANDY M]

I'm sure that Charley would gladly accept them for free. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[BARN FIND]

LOL...I have been expecting the http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif any time now!

[firstgenaddict]

I've been offered $5000 per badge for mine... long before the tourney ever started... by ticket brokers...
If you get caught selling them you never get them again...
We were on the waiting list for 18 years... 1972... got them in 1990...

[Charley Lillard]

That is what I was told..Years on a waiting list and if you get caught reselling them you lose them.

[firstgenaddict]

the waiting list has been closed since 1973 or 1974...

[wheelhop]

We got them through a lady who's been "brokering" tickets for the masters for the last 30 years. She has relationships with past champions, members,etc. .
She has a lot of corporate clients who she sets up for the week in luxury houses in the area.
I think she pays approximately 3 to 4K per badge for the week.

[wheelhop]

I could certainly put you in touch with her for next year if you like.
