Making the pilgrimage to Augusta to watch
The Masters should be on every golf fans’
bucket list. Your Golf Travel can make it
happen, in style.
With tickets to The Masters about as hard
to come by as birdies on the back nine on
Sunday, it’s only by travelling with regulated
travel companies like Your Golf Travel that
you can guarantee your place at Augusta
National.
Augusta’s nearest airport is Atlanta, although
travelling spectators can also enjoy new
direct flights to Charleston with British
Airways. Whichever you choose, YGT can
arrange car hire, coach transfers as well
as tournament tickets and convenient and
comfortable accommodation. Oh, and if
you’re hoping to play some golf during your
trip, guaranteed tee times at the region’s
best courses will be sorted, covering all
the bases for your unforgettable trip to The
Masters.
Whether you want to attend one of the
practice days on Monday, Tuesday
or Wednesday, including the Par-3
Championship, or experience the electric
atmosphere of a tournament day, Your Golf
Travel can provide you and your group with
guaranteed tickets.
Whichever option you choose, our
professional and experienced events team
are on hand throughout the week, providing
a friendly face at the bespoke hospitality unit
outside the course. It’s here that your tickets,
car parking and transfers can be sorted, as
well as any other questions you may have.
The hospitality also acts as a personal
clubhouse for the duration of your visit to
The Masters.
After the day’s play, a private coach or car
will take you back to your hotel, whether that
be in downtown Augusta, where the party
mood is always guaranteed, to the larger
resorts to be found an hour’s drive away in
Columbia—South Carolina’s biggest city—or
Athens, which is another popular spot with
Masters’ fans. Both venues offer a wealth
of off-course activities to enjoy after a day
spent walking the fairways, as well as a
great choice of bars and restaurants to kick
back and relax in.
Asked what makes a trip to The Masters
so special, Your Golf Travel’s Head of
Long Haul and Tournaments Team, Gareth
Llewellyn, who has experienced nine visits
to The Masters says: “For any golf fan who
pays close attention to the Majors, The
Masters and Augusta are the holy grail.
It’s a course where every hole is familiar,
and you’ve watched your favourite players
play almost every shot from every angle.
Just from watching on TV you know which
bunkers are in play, when the ball is likely
to spin into the water and even how putts
break but seeing that happen in front of your
very eyes is something completely different.
I urge everyone, who like me, may have
watched every Masters from their sofa since
they were a kid to come at least once; trust
me, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Leading up to departure, all clients heading
to Augusta will receive our detailed ‘Masters
Info’ pack, which becomes their ‘golf bible’
for the week,” says Gareth. “It’s packed
with what to see, what to do, and, just as
importantly what not to do, as well as local
area guides and information about bars
and restaurants and other vital holiday
ingredients.”
