As title says, if you have how did you get tickets also did you manage to play a track near by while you was there and what was the process of getting tickets ?
 
You can get a full travel pack from golf agents including tickets for sat and Sunday and rounds of golf nearby for about 2 grand - doesn't include flights
 
It would be a Once in life a time opportunity to go for most of us so 2k seems a decent deal. I will check some agents out and maybe see if we could get a forum meet out there ;)
 

Not that bad really considering people where paying for packages to Sundays Wrestlemania from the UK with costs of £2000 and more... A few meet the stars days and the hall of fame night then the 4 hour main show...

I know which one I'd spend my 2K on :thup:
 
if I had a few bob then yeah I would go, add on flights etc tho and it would be 3k+ beer tokens :D

mind you, imagine being there when Bubba hit that shot out of the tree's!

Imagine helping get the clear lie he did like the patrons "apparently" did that day ;) :whistle:
 
I found a package with yourgolftravel for 2k with golf, hotel, flights and watch the masters for 4 days.

That does seem a good deal to me and then another 1k spending money.
 
2K? I have to say, I thought it would be much more expensive than that. It's a decent sum of money, but for a once in a lifetime trip quite possibly a bargain.
 
I've met someone who has played in the Masters. A local lad, David Curry, won the British Amateur in 1986 at Lytham. The story, which I have only heard second hand, goes that he had the British Amateur trophy on the bar of the pub which his parents ran when an American, touring Northumberland, came in and they started a conversation about it. The American asked if David was playing in the Masters & he replied that he didn't think he could afford to go. This person then told David that he lived close to Augusta and that he would pay for his travel & accommodate him while he was there. The generous offer was accepted and that is how a Northumberland lad got to play at Augusta. And we have another one this year, Garrick Porteous, playing out of Bamburgh Castle Golf Club who will turn pro immediately afterwards without waiting to take up his place in the U.S. Open.
