MAKING THE MOST OF MASTERS WEEK, cont’d<br />
4. AFTER YOU’VE SPENT YOUR MORTGAGE ON SHIRTS AND HATS, make sure<br />
you check your goodies at the check-stand just to the right of the pro shop. You<br />
don’t want to lug all that stuff around the golf course. And if you want to ship it<br />
home, they can make that happen. Trust me, that Bobby Jones mercerized cotton<br />
golf shirt and Tervis Tumbler is a lot heavier than it looks, especially when you’re<br />
trying to navigate four beers and a BBQ sandwich!<br />
5. WHICH BRINGS ME TO PERHAPS MY FAVORITE MASTERS TRADITION:<br />
THE FOOD. But before we get into one of my favorite subjects, I want to point out<br />
that the main concession stand (the one that sits about a hundred yards to the right<br />
of the main scoreboard) now sits where the original caddy house used to be.<br />
6. BACK TO THE FOOD, IN PARTICULAR THE EGG SALAD SANDWICHES on<br />
squishy white bread. Unless you’re a vegan, you must eat at least one of the following:<br />
EGG SALAD SANDWICH PIMENTO CHEESE SANDWICH<br />
BBQ HAM ON RYE<br />
BBQ POTATO CHIPS—NOT PLAIN. BBQ.<br />
When you get your bag of chips, note the Masters logo on the front and then flip it<br />
over. Note the Cape Cod logo. Lays used to be the chip of choice, but they wouldn’t<br />
agree to let Augusta put the Masters logo on their bag. So bye-bye Lays. As for the<br />
beer, well, there’s no such thing as a bad beer. At Augusta, the only bad thing about<br />
the beer is they stop selling ‘em at 4 o’clock. And when they say 4 they mean 4. If<br />
you get in the beer line at 4:01 you’re walking out with lemonade.<br />
