Ahhh... the Masters. The annual rite of spring, the first major of the year, the pinnacle of prestige in all of golf. There are so many cool things about the Masters, and many of them are found no where else in the golfing world. What used to be idiosyncratic or “cute” are now revered, treasured, embraced, and imitated. But like they say, “often imitated, never duplicated.”
So what are the traditions of the Masters? There are so many, but they can be broken down into a few categories: the grounds & course, the patron experience, and the tournament.
