Watch the boys ..... PRACTICE ...... for over a grand a day

I guess I have no comment to make on this, words like "inconceivable" come to mind .... I guess it is what makes the world and our economy go round and round .... to watch guys who have millions of dollars, hit a little white ball, with a stick with a head on if, and roll it in to a cup, on grass, to make more millions to add to what they already have.

If you've ever thought about taking that bucket list journey to Augusta, Georgia to check out the golf spectacle of the year, you better start saving

The first major championship of the year isn't just the most exciting week of the golf season, but the most expensive, and that isn't just this game.

The Masters is the expensive ticket in all of sports, according to a report by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, topping out at $4,486 if you want to see all four days of tournament action.

Just a one-day pass can run anywhere from $1,215 to $1,786 depending on the day and even a practice round during Masters week can cost you up to $1,118.

By comparison a ticket to the Super Bowl costs just $1,210, so if you want the hottest ticket in all of sports, you better be prepared for a trip the Masters.

The club does not announce attendance figures, people close to the club figure that about 35,000 ticket-holders attend the Masters each of the four days of competition and about 45,000 are allowed inside on each of the three practice days.
