Masters Speak
Patrons find lots to love about the golf tournament.
Chatting with patrons is a highlight of the Masters Tournament for us every year. We love meeting people from across the country and around the world, and they always give us a fresh take on the tournament.
For example, we met a Florida man who was clad in a Kelly green golf-themed shirt and shorts ensemble to celebrate his 40th birthday at the Masters and a charming couple who was celebrating their 32nd wedding anniversary. They said their son and Scottie Scheffler are doppelgangers. In fact, they said that the two of them look so much alike that their son gets asked for his autograph “on the reg.”
When it comes to refreshments at the tournament, apparently, it’s hard to improve on perfection. While the Masters has added a lot of variety to its menu through the years, patrons unanimously agree that one item still reigns supreme in the concession stand.
