The 2012 Masters For many, The Masters at Augusta heralds the start of the new golf season, and enjoys a very special and unique atmosphere. Masters Packages can be tailored to suit your exact requirements and can include any number of days’ admission, with both Practice and Tournament Rounds available. The excitement of Masters Week begins with the Practice Rounds, where cameras are permitted and the atmosphere is relaxed. These offer a great value for money opportunity to experience the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club. Wednesday’s unique Par 3 Contest adds a touch of fun with past golfing greats joining today’s stars on the beautiful Par 3 Course – where many of the players’ children can often be seen caddying for their fathers. During the tournament rounds, from early Thursday morning through to Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere builds, with cheers and groans echoing throughout the stately Georgia pines, as the best players in the world challenge for the famous green jacket!
