After countless years of applying, today I got email that I was drawn in the masters lottery!  4 tickets to Tuesday’s practice round.  Wife and I immediately booked an Airbnb so we have a place to stay.  Still seems surreal!  As one does when planning a trip, he makes a post to egghead forum for tips so friends without further delay, please leave your masters tips for us!

    Congrats on the tickets. Very jealous. @YEMTrey may be able to give some insight. I seem to remember him going in the past. Also @Wolfpack and @saluki2007, I think.

    that's the only sporting event that does true justice to Spring and all the Spring time colors, golf ain't half bad too.

    Congrats, that's absolutely going to be an amazing trip.    I have never been but dad has been 3-4x and a couple buddies have as well.    Everything I have heard / been told is that they make it too easy to spend $ on swag.   Buy it, they ship it to you so you don't have to lug it around.    Can't wait to see pics of that trip.

    Years ago we were lucky enough to get practice round tickets the first year we put in for the lottery. The next year my parents won practice round tickets and we got to go again. Haven’t been drawn since then but I figured odds are against us now. Amazing place and still by far the best sporting event I’ve attended. Even if it was just the practice round.

    Just checked my email and I am not receiving any passes this year.  My in-laws are badge holders but I have no luck unfortunately.  Congratulations and enjoy.  FYI if in need of some good food I live 20 minutes drive from magnolia lane.  Pm me and we could have a pregame meal

    I’m a loser again as well - I think that is about 20 years in a row.
