We spent 2008/2009 and 2010/2011 at the Masters.
Hubby is Air Traffic controller so all those private jets flying in and out everyday needed to be controlled at a little field called Daniels which is privatly owned and very close to the golf course. City of Augusta and Daniels calls in the big guns for the masters, paying for all our expenses. Now I understand they hire private companies to work the planes.
We were given badges every day but were limited to 6 hour time slots each day so all the controllers could get the opportunity to enter. We were there I believe 6 days for practice and the tournament.
We sat in the stands, I personnally think golf is boring but loved the gift shop and came home with visors, cups, and the such. Hubby went for all the golf related things he could carry.
Once in a lifetime experience for him.
