OT: Golf riches

[dog99walker]

Holy Mack-el, Kingfish. I just wiped out my bank account.

I have tried the Master’s lottery for years with no luck, so on a trip thru Augusta, GA (on the way to Pinehurst/US Open) I stopped at a ticket agent and discussed a trip to the Master’s this year. Good guy. Very costly, but going to all four majors is a bucket list item. I am in with the agent and paid the down payment.

Today, I got an email from the PGA. Another bucket list item is the Ryder Cup. It will be played is in NYC/Bethpage Black on Long Island in 2025. You have to apply for a lottery to buy. I made it!! I purchased two tickets for Friday and Saturday and parking passes. I have them.

I might have to pass on football tickets this fall. My cup runner over and my bank account is as empty as my good judgment.

There are a lot of people pretty upset with the PGA about Ryder Cup tickets. They jacked them up to outrageous amounts.

Parking pass and ticket $750 per day.

That is ridiculous

You’ve never been to Augusta if you think $750 is expensive

I had a buddy win the lottery as well and he has to decide if it's worth the money or not. Can't believe they are so expensive but supply and demand ya know

Tell me about it. Over $10 to attend the Master’s.

I have a buddy, life long golfer plus he works part time for ping or some other club company, he weaseled his way into volunteering to work the tourney. He did it for years before his health gave out.
