I also expect to get rejected. I don't think they want Georgia residents to get tickets, they want people to come from out of state and spend more money.

I will make you a deal, send me $75 - $115 and I will drive down to Washington Rd., scoop you up some dirt and send it your way. I'll even throw in a picture of the front gate.

It only took me a handful of these letters to reach my decision to remove this one from the bucket list.  Well, that and the fact that costs to attend, even driving an hour each way, have finally exceeded my "value model" limitations.

My dad, my mother-in-law and I all just received our annual rejection emails.  I got practice round tickets in 2014, so I keep on trying to see if lightning will strike twice.  When my daughter moves out, she'll start entering the lottery as well.  

I was kinda hoping that when IBM bought us two years ago, we'd somehow get a chance to get tickets, but no dice.

Every single year...this is my 6th consecutive rejection since 2014 (I took 2015 & 2016 off). 

In a few years when my daughter is older, I am going to hedge my bet and try for ANWA as well.  Not sure how the odds are on that one but it may be a better experience...

I understand your disappointment. Having had the opportunity to attend the Masters several times (been awhile), I would encourage you to keep applying. The time and cost will be worth it, I cannot describe what an experience it is.

Good Luck

Well, another reason to be honest is that this was something my Dad and I wanted to do.  Without him, it won't be the same for me.

I got mine also, 10 years for me.  It is what it is.  I keep applying, but in all honesty, I don't care if I get an opportunity or not. 

Having been to a U.S. Open and a PGA Championship, I enjoy watching in the privacy of my home and all the amenities😄

I was out watching the US Junior Amateur final on Saturday, and heard a guy complain he had to walk and how the Masters does it better. No kidding. He then said he could go to the Masters anytime he wanted. How do I get on THAT list? 

When my wife asked if I wanted to leave Maine and move to where she grew up, I couldn't say no to Pinehurst, NC. I honestly don't spend much money on golf equipment, but I'm constantly reading reviews in case I ever get ready to buy

I swing left handed and have been the State of Maine Left Hander's champion since 1997, the last year they held the tournament. I'm currently a 7.1 handicap. Trying to get lower, but my gut gets in the way.

If you want to go to the masters, there are ways to get tickets.  Tickets are always for sale; each day people line the streets heading into Augusta buying and selling tickets.
