I went to the Masters a few years back for one of the practice rounds and it’s absolutely beautiful there.
I bought a ton of souvenirs and even got autographs on a pin flag as the players did the Par 3 contest… so I know the allure pulling on this guy. Though he took it to a whole other very criminal level.
Masters treasures went missing, then the FBI showed up [Golf Digest] – “The first item the young man stole from Augusta National was a green and white golf towel. This was just after the 2007 Masters, when he had come to understand it was customary for warehouse employees to take one or two small things—a hat, a flag, a shirt, a mug emblazoned with the iconic club logo—from piles designated for destruction. The 22-year-old was a college dropout whose previous job was waiting tables at nearby West Lake Country Club.
So was set into motion the most brazen thefts the game has ever known.”
