This is very cool, get masters party meal delivered go your door.  Having never been to angc or the masters, while hearing about how good the food is, will be a small taste of the experience (no pun intended). Thumbs up to ANGC for this offer, now will they open up the pro shop online? ;D

Augusta did this for the 2020 November Masters. Not sure if they did it the last two years.


They also did a limited pro shop for some newsletter followers that year. I was picked so bought a shirt. You can't have enough Augusta-logoed shirts.

A fun idea and I'm sure it further supports their vendors...why not?

Has anyone ever been invited to a Masters watch party?  I always considered the back nine on Sunday a private moment best enjoyed alone.


My logoed shirt from 97 has gone missing. I could never summon the courage to wear the shirt in public but I miss knowing it was mine.

Maybe if you'd worn it once in a while, your family wouldn't have assumed you didn't like it and tossed it?

If I wore a Masters shirt more than once a year my wife would have tossed me.

While we're all circumspect about whether we even remember an actual Masters party of four, no less 12-16 people, this is another eye-rolling cast for stupid people's dough...


1. That "spread" might be fit for a king, but the king better be alone in his room (like JK), because what's pictured never fed four people comfortably in the history of mankind, no less 12-16, unless they were four housecats.


2. Essentially you're paying $175 (I'll be vigilant to see who praises this and complains about golf inflation in other threads) for a sleeve of logoed, thin plastic cups, four sheets of logoed wax paper, and branded disposable potato chip wrappers...the rest of the entirety you could cook, prepare, print and present yourself for about $40...might as well, you're already providing the bread to make those Masters sandwiches and booze to make those Masters drinks. And it'd be much more interesting and fun if you and your kids drew the ANGC branding on a sleeve of Solo cups anyway. Hey but if you have enough scratch for four or five of these JacketJack packages, you can just about afford to play Pebble.


3. Perhaps, most important to the "ethos" of the thing, it's one more way that the forces of commerce persist in their sexual assault-cum-creative destruction of the few, special, anachronistic, treasures that haven't yet been despoiled.  Here, that raped ethos is the idea that you had to GO to ANGC to experience its time-resistant nature, it's little perks and ante-bellum scent... it wasn't a packageable "experience" for a price... you had to be shrewd, patient, devoted and/or lucky to sample some pimento cheese and egg salad, along with the beautiful and historic golf ambiance....but it's been rotting and rotted away for years, this is only a subway token to when the thing is played virtually on a digital 1932 version of the course.

Ha...I saw the original post and ordered it.  I have a 15+ year streak of missing out on the ticket lottery, so this is my best chance to taste pimento cheese and the rest.  Going to share with some friends on Saturday of Masters week...that will be our "experience"!

While I agree 12-14 is too high a number (6-8 would be more reasonable), do you honestly think four or fewer people would eat 72 ounces of egg salad, pork BBQ, and pimento cheese?


That's 4.5 pounds of food, not counting the bread, chips, etc. -- four people aren't eating that much food unless they're rather portly.

The last time I was there I finally had a pimento cheese sandwich. At least having one is no longer on the bucket list. (More recently, I was told by someone who knows Augusta insiders that the supplier for the sandwiches had changed that year, and so did the recipe.)
