The long list of rules at the Masters

When the tournament gets under way, there will be no signs and no strollers, but ABC News’ Will Ganss explains why that’s par for the course.

[@bassAssassin187]

I was amazed when i went in 2015. Just absolutely perfect! Theres no concrete in sight it is all luscious grass you almost feel bad walking on. Not a trash wrapper or cig butt in sight. Ate and drank like a pig for under 50$ which is the coolest thing. I hope i win tickets again some day because i refuse to pay those prices. Truly an experience not just a golf tournament

[@coltino99]

$5 beers and you’re practically asking for spectators to yell out stuff

[@thoyo]

Bababooey!!!!!

[@Tralfaz666]

$5 is a fuckin' bargain, these days...

[@williwilliams5238]

Yet they don’t???? This is how adults act.

[@coltino99]

@@williwilliams5238 I’ve seen plenty of instances of fully grown adults yelling out crap

[@ryanzbt14078]

Considering the VAST majority of the patrons are lifelong fans who have applied to the lottery for YEARS just to get the chance to go for a single day, I doubt they’re gonna risk doing that.

Exactly..and once you are in Augusta or if have someone to tell you in details how is it, ALL of those rules make sense and none is absurd.

[@steve4158]

If you're a member at Augusta, don't expect to play year round. The course closes in May and opens again in October. The summer months are not kind to the course and they want to avoid wear and tear. Also that's when any improvements or changes are made. Basically the course exists solely for the Masters. A majority of members live around the country and it's a list of the rich and powerful. You must be invited to join If you let it be known you want to be a member, you probably never will.

I think it’s great that there can be events that cater to both ends of the spectrum.

[@markhuru]

He forgot how expensive it is if you can find a ticket to get in, there are patrons who “rent” their tickets by the half day and it ain’t cheap…

[@chrisarseneault5617]

I agree with all of these rules. Augusta national is a sacred and honored place and privately owned, and if you want to be there, you play by the rules.

[@ericlarsen4050]

ABC is kind of making a mockery of Augusta National here, especially at the end.

[@Lovetofloat83]

No running either

[@Lamin_G]

Tiger is still not out of the Woods (pun intended), when it comes to explaining what he was up to when his car derailed off the road, causing the much talked about leg injury. It seems the media has given him a slack on that one?

[@jimbarrow3868]

He was just driving to fast and crashed. He is a golfer, not a nascar driver lol.

[@Lamin_G]

@@jimbarrow3868 And smart alec, you know this, because...? The last time I saw Tiger publicly address the accident, he was rather guarded about the specific circumstances behind the accident. BUT, I might have missed something since then, since I don't exactly keep up with Tiger's developments. So, since you seem to be more loose-lipped than Tiger, why don't you explain why he was driving "so fast" in the first place, to the point of losing control of his vehicle. And no, you don't have to be a NASCAR driver to get that question.

I kind of like this. Especially no phones...I'm a millenial and disgustingly addicted to my phone, but sometimes it would be really nice if we all just disconnected...I have no issue with this especially for a tournament of this magnitude

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

Yes but there's a difference between choosing to and being forced to disconnect. I'm forced to do enough already. I don't need more.

[@jadam42]

@@Soxruleyanksdroolfortunately no one is forcing you to go to the Masters. So seems like a non-issue.
