Golf. How do you cram 50,000 additional people into Augusta for one whole week? You don’t. Luckily I live directly behind the Nationals and I don’t have to make my way out to Washington Road. The events during this week are always fun, but the actual tournament brings some strange characters in to town. I have nothing against golfers or their fans, but the air hangs heavy with people thinking they are elite because they have “badges.”
I say, you can keep your badges, just let me at the cool events and all of the concerts. Now you might think I am sounding a bit jealous…Truthfully, I am not. If you are lucky enough to have a ticket in, that’s great, but seriously, why can’t this town be this lively all year round? Don’t you think it would draw more people and promote healthy growth? Without expanding the streets and locations to hang-out, we all end up cramming ourselves into our normal hangouts, but now we have to deal with visitors who might not be familiar with how things are done in the South.
Ok, off my rant. Enjoy the tournament. Have fun at your tent-hangouts. Stop parking on our lawns, and have a safe trip home. Oh, and by the way, how did you like the cold spell we had? Kudos to you for standing outside on the street and waiting for tickets all day long. I do hope you at least got one, because frost bite for nothing would totally suck.
Cheers,
Scott

So when I see a road sign that says “Golf Traffic —->” and say I’m trying to get to the event… should I avoid the traffic or just follow the sign? Of course, I’m not trying to get to the master’s, but if i was.

Always avoid the traffic during Master’s hours. Google map your route before you go.
