Tom the Golf Nut Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I’ve been to the Masters a few times. The experience was amazing but I would rather play it once and not go back. Truthfully I rather watch it on TV these days. You miss so much being there. You’re on one hole and you hear a roar from another. No clue into you get to a leaderboard on what happened. Phones are not permitted. The last time I went I recorded the Masters do so could see what I missed.

jj1010 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 My first reaction was the tickets would be the way to go but after reading everyone's comments I think they have swayed me to play even though I haven't ever gotten to experience the tournament in person yet!

jbern Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Seeing everyone else's responses makes me think this should be an easier decision. I've never been to any professional golf tournament and I feel like being able to jump into the greatest golf tournament every year is enticing! Especially if I could bring family or friends along to enjoy the experience. I've always like egg salad sandwiches and I hear Augusta National's are THE best! That being said, I think I'd still choose to play there once and never go back. My nerves would be insane, but it would be awesome! aguybadatgolf, TSauer, sirchunksalot and 4 others 7 Quote WITB (link to detailed post here): Driver: LTDx 9* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) Fairway metals: 3W TSR2 14.25* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) | 5W Gen4 0341XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75 S) Hybrid: 4H Gen4 0317XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75HY S) Irons: 659 CB 5-AW (Project X Rifle 6.0) Wedges: 286 54* & 58* (KBS Tour 120 S) Putter: AL-6 armlock | Unofficial review here | DF3 OFFICIAL MEMBER REVIEW HERE Ball: pro drip: red & blue | Tour S Pushcart: 4.0 | '23 MGS Clicgear 4.0 Pushcart Tester | Link here Link to comment
sirchunksalot Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I'm also in the group that would take the option to play it once. I'm perfectly content to sit at home in my couch and watch it since they have the best golf streaming service of all the majors. I just believe there's so much you'd miss watching it live. I'd probably shoot between 160-200. Edited March 12 by sirchunksalot Michael.Sandoval33, Rob Person, TSauer and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Hard to turn down a vacation to the best tournament of the year, every year. I think it would be an awesome opportunity to play Augusta, but I can shoot 100+ at home .
