You bastard. I looked for the hell of it on stub hub and weekend tickets for going for $11K a piece. 

Aren’t they really strict about putting your tickets online? Heard if you win masters tickets and they find your tickets online they ban you from ever coming back

More importantly, I’ll be there Saturday. Can’t fucking wait.

Had a colleague go a few years ago.  She said that the thing that she was really surprised with is concessions.  It's not like all other venues where they price gouge.  She said it was like $1.50 for a ham sandwich.

Weather looks pretty shitty going forward for the rest of the tournament.

Stubhub has some sort of deal with them. You pick up the badge locally and have to return it at the end of the day. Or at least that’s how it used to be.

Redstone, Oak Tree National, Southern Hills, Twin Hills, Karsten Creek (no PGA events but I think they will eventually also watched the NCAA championships last year there), LeTriomphe, Firestone North (so much water)

 

I missed out on a guys trip to Whistling Straits 2 years ago because of a work comitment.

That would be fun!  Bucket list would include Pine Valley, Pebble Beach, Sawgrass, Shinnecock Hills, along w Augusta.

 

Missed one above, played Bethesda CC several times.

Scratch golfers are breaking 100 there. Easily. It’s obviously a tough course but they’re not shooting 30 strokes worse than a normal course.  

Agree 100%...scratch golfers are great ball strikers and great putters. I get what everyone is saying but a scratch golfer isn’t lucky to break 100 at the Masters

I think anyone that shoots in the 70’s typically could break 100 more often than not. It’s hard to shoot 75’s and 76’s often and bad rounds are 81-82....those guys know how to play and navigate and adjust.

On the front nine.

I had always heard that too but sure enough they were on stubhub.
