Masters Week in Augusta

This was our first Masters Week in Augusta and will not be our last for sure!  It was such a treat to be here and experience all the hype!!  We lucked up and were able to share some last minute practice round tickets with a couple from Jeremy's work.  It was the best lunch date we have ever had together!!  Jeremy lucked up again and went to the tournament one of the days.  It was so exciting to see what has been hiding behind the bamboo at Augusta National.  It is not at all what you expect!  It is flawless nature at its best!  I took way.too.many pictures, so I am just picking my faves to post.  We were slightly bummed to miss Graeme McDowell at the practice rounds, but Jeremy lucked up and saw him at the tournament.  Jeremy gave him a big "Go Blazers" and Graeme turned and smiled back at him with a "Go Blazers" in return!  So exciting for a blazer fan like Jeremy!!

Our lunch....egg salad sandwiches, crackers, cookies, lemonade, and beer for the hubby

We stumbled across a few pimento cheese sandwiches at the next concession stand we came across

The awesome concessions....basic and cheap!

Jeremy waiting for Tiger to arrive while guarding our first round of souvenirs.  

We just happened to walk by the hole he was up to next.

Fred Couples and Tiger Woods...or as most people in Augusta call him "Cheetah" Woods

Best picture of them all....Amen Corner

This is what you call team work!

The most kegs I have ever seen in my life

Jack Nicklaus having dinner.....along with many other green jacket owners.

It was such a treat to stay and see these older men walking to dinner in their winning attire!

We got a wave goodbye as we were leaving

This is what the practice round tickets looked like.

The tournament badges were a little bit more fancy.

We were so blessed to be able to experience our first year in Augusta.  

I hope it can become a tradition for us!  I am not so sure we will be as lucky next year.
