Wow, these prices are insane!
According to the website these are official, licensed products. I don’t know how they are able to do this as Augusta National has never allowed their products to be sold offsite or online. Apparently something has changed.
Thanks for sharing this Marc. I’ll have to pass on it but I’m sure many others will use it.

Yeah, they know someone, they've been doing it for a few years, I bought a hat from them 5 years ago, nothing else. Prices are too crazy for me.

I asked my cashier on Tuesday what the highest total She had seen so far was and she said somebody spent a little over 18 thousand, he apparently runs a golf tournament and every entry gets a shirt from the masters and a gift bag of gifts. I spent about 750$ and was kinda a lil mortified i went that high but it was my first time and I bought gifts for family n friends...shirts even at the real shop are 79.99 and if u walk up the steps to the “ clubhouse collection” they are 120$ so nothings cheap. Hats are reasonable but I’m not really a hat guy.

When I attended in 2004 I was amazed at how efficient, as well as how busy, the merchandise tent was. There must have been at least a dozen cashier lines and they all were 2 deep in registers. Every line was jammed and as best I recall, I was the “cheapskate” of all those around me! The guy next to me dropped over $4000 and that didn’t seem at all unusual.
When it’s a bucket list destination no one holds back.

The level of organization is like no other I’m with you, I was taken back how fast checkout was with the amount of people in the shop at once. Directly next to the gift shop they have this elaborate ups check/ship station my purchases were bagged and boxed n the blink of an eye and tagged to be shipped to my house ups ground for 31 bucks....hands free rest of the day no bags. Was a blessing from the golf gods.

I dropped 500 in the blink of an eye but my first time too. Things aren't that out of hand considering a Nike golf shirt that anyone can buy is about the same price.
That new retail shop is spectacular though but MAN is it crowded. That being said, I've never seen a better organized situation in my life. Lines move really quickly.

He’s a meatball I swear he’s stoned sometimes with some of the choices he makes.
I was walking with him at tpc Boston for a few holes and he broke his putter so he decides to pull out driver ...driver fam your gonna pull out the hottest face club in your bag to putt with knowing that that balls gonna come off the face like a bat out of hell and hit the back of the cup and be back at your feet. Me and my buddy were screaming bro use a 4 iron those cups are like concrete...what’s he do...he lagged one up then pings his 3 footer off the back of the cup and it lands back at his feet. Golf ch highlight and espn blooper later that night.

They state they're buying merchandise directly onsite from ANGC, and reselling it. No claims about affiliation with ANGC. As long as the site isn't selling counterfeit merchandise, there probably isn't much that ANGC can do.

DVR is running at home. Looking forward to watching later. I did see some scores already. Looks like Spieth had a terrible start but at least salvaged himself to stay in the mix. DJ put himself back in the picture too. Reed our Ryder cup hero is lighting it up.

Watching it live. Tiger is flirting with the cut line.

Beautiful day there today. I think the rain I'm having here is headed there for tomorrow.

Nothing compares to Augusta. On the bucket list. Funny, I am playing in a tourney in the morning. Forecast: 80% of rain with 40 mph wind gusts. Hope I break 80. So hard playing in heavy wind. Unusual for our region. Rarely get rain here.
