@ANGC_burner Legit question for the thread (seriously, it’s my job!) — what would make you love it more?
Or what do you wish other people saw in it that make you feel this way?
Rights. The answer is media rights.
“It’s truly mind boggling how they sidestepped the season’s blockbuster double-feature movie. In the end, the whole thing collapses under its own lack of ambition.”
@AidanBee2649 Few more reccos:
- Sheila’s Donuts in N. Augusta left great
- Hawaiian BBQ unique / good
- Assume you play, embrace the Carolina sand hill renaissance: The Patch, Old Barnwell, Tree Farm. 21 Club, Forest Hills, etc.
Good luck. We did a lot of growing up here. Fond memories.
@AidanBee2649 Just spent last 7 years there. My advice:
- live: find home / ‘hood you love; be happy where your head lays (e.g. Hammond’s Ferry in North Augusta)
- best bar: Arsenal Tap Room
- best food: Frog Hollow, Abel Brown
- best coffee: Trellis
- weekend: explore within ~3hr radius
@incolnlay At the end of the day, I think the Masters is big enough for all of us, and fans of all types.
I want others to love it as much as I do.
Anything else, just feels like I’m an old man yelling “Get off my lawn!”.
Food for thought.
@incolnlay These new fans are first introduced to the Masters via a side doors, but over time they discover the main attraction and become fans for life.
The product hasn’t changed, just the way people discover it.
@incolnlay It’s hard to control the message in the age of social media, so naturally, these entrances cross pollinate.
But if you’re a fan who just attended the Tournament or watched the CBS broadcast over the weekend, I don’t think your experience / relationship was negatively impacted.
@AugustaGolfGirl But there’s only one truth.
And I can promise you, influencers are not gaining access to the Tournament at the expense of lottery ticket applicants.
Implying as much is simply copium.
Tough to watch so many “golf” fans self-immolate this week. There are so many bad takes on the Masters this year, I don’t even know where to begin:
- The Par 3 Contest is serious business!
- The players are underpaid!
- Influencers get widespread preferential access!
Sigh.
@calidaddude@LJLewis_11 What are you implying here @calidaddude? That there are hundreds of tickets just being handed out to influencers willy nilly?
And if it was true (it’s not), with a name like “Silicon Valley Guy” I assume you’d understand how capitalism works and the value exchanged.
