This is cut day, the top 44 players plus ties and anyone within 10 strokes of the lead makes the cut, this will be your last chance to see some of your favorite players who are not playing their best this week. A great place to start the day is at the back of 7 th green, from here you will be able to watch the action in 5 different areas, you can watch the approach shots into 2 nd green, the drives on the 3 rd hole, second shots into 7 th green, you can also see the 8 th and 17 th fairways from this vantage point. Use the pairings sheet to determine a player's tee time. On the sheet, the time on the left is when the group tees off. The first number is the group number. The numbers to the left of the players' names are the players' numbers to use the tee times, pick out the golfers you want to see and note what time they start. A typical round takes between 4½ and five hours, or about 15 minutes per hole. If your favorite player has already started, note the difference in time and do the math to figure out which hole he is on. If Tiger Woods teed off on No. 1 at 8 a.m. and it's now 10:15, expect him to be on No. 9 or No. 10. Don t forget a stop at the Pro shop on your way out. (Insiders Tip There is a FedEx and UPS station to the right of the Pro shop so you can buy and ship all in one spot.) PM: - After you are finished watching golf at Augusta National, please proceed to Magnolia Manor for food and beverage if you have hospitality, and/or shuttle back to the hotel. 7:00pm - Gates close 30 minutes after play.

The Masters is considered the best-run golf tournament in the world by fans and golfers alike, until now it has been relatively relaxed, but today the leading players get ready to try and win the Green Jacket. In addition to a cash prize, the winner of the tournament is presented with a distinctive green jacket, formally awarded since 1949, and informally acquired by the champions for many years before that. The green sport coat is the official attire worn by members of Augusta National while on the club grounds. Today choose the groups you want to watch, catch then on the range and then follow then through the first 5 holes and then head to amen corner and get in the stands at the 12 th tee, you are in the heart of Amen corner and can see the approach shots to 11 th green, all of the par 3 12 th hole and the tee shot and second shot on the par 5 13 th hole. Nearby rest room and concession buildings make this the ideal spot till the leaders come through. No place is quite like Augusta National when it comes to following the action through the roars of the crowd, a roar is usually based on two things: 1. The quality of the shot, be it an approach that winds up close, a long putt that finds the cup or an eagle in the final round. 2. Who hit it? A roar for Tiger Woods is typically larger than for a first-time player. Armed with the knowledge of who is playing and their position on the course, you can begin to distinguish between the roars. Start heading for 18 and your Masters chair with a stop at 15 th tee and 17 th green on route. Enjoy the rest of the tournament and the Green Jacket ceremonial, safe in the knowledge that you can do this all again next year. PM: - After you are finished watching golf at Augusta National, please proceed to Magnolia Manor for food and beverage if you have hospitality, and/or shuttle back to the hotel. 7:30pm - Gates close 30 minutes after play. Monday, April 10 Today you will depart Augusta for home or continue your travels.
