A Christmas morning like excitement embodies native Augustians as the countdown gets to single digits. We know that in a week our town will be inhabited by the most talented (and attractive) male golfers from around the world. The Masters is a holy experience with The Augusta National being the church and center of it all. Egg salad sandwiches are eaten for every meal and mimosas and sweet tea run in our veins. Born and raised on The Hill in Augusta Georgia I have had the joy of experiencing this magical week for 21 years, so here are 8 thoughts from the Augusta native on The Masters.
- Even though we act like it is no big deal, we are very proud to be from Augusta during this week.
2) 2 weeks before, if you are renting, your mom will make you sleep on the couch and you cannot even breath in your room or for heaven sakes do not use the renters towels.
3) In high school every spring break is actually spent working at The National, not at the beach.
4) People who still have badges are like this
5) Every girl secretly wishes that one golfer will fall in love with her
6) We all have 1000000 of these
7) Washington road turns into Atlanta at rush hour
8) We all know that The National is the only part of Augusta that actually looks like this.
