My Day at the Masters and The Masters Famous Pimento Cheese Sandwich

The iconic sandwich at The Masters golf tournament is the Pimento Cheese Sandwich! You just must have the Pimento Cheese Sandwich every time you visit The Masters!

Masters Pimento Cheese Sandwich

 

The Masters Famous Pimento Cheese Sandwich

I was lucky to score tickets to this year’s Masters practice round on Wednesday. The stars must have been aligned because it’s not easy to get them. I wanted to do something special for Big Daddy and he couldn’t have been happier about going. Wednesday is also when the Par 3 tournament is and we got front row seats on Hole number 4. We saw all the players up close and personal especially when Mr. Jack Nicholas and Brant Snedeker hit their ball in the gallery into the seat right next to us.

I don’t have any special tips on getting tickets, but I can tell you a couple of tips for the day if you are lucky enough to go.

  1. Get there early
  2. Wear comfortable shoes
  3. Wear sunscreen
  4. Get as much swag as you can afford
  5. Eat the Pimento Cheese Sandwich
  6. Eat the Sugar Cookie Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

During the practice rounds, you cannot take your phone is (I felt totally disconnected from the world!), but you can take pictures.

My Day at the Masters

Masters 13 cmp1

 Additionally, there was more security here than at the airports I’ve been through!

Masters13 cmp7

 All the workers were extremely nice and very informative.

Masters13 cmp6

 We had read that the gates didn’t open until 8 a.m., but had also been informed to get there early for parking.
Before 7 a.m., we left our hotel and parked without incident. By the time we walked to the gates,
they had just opened well before 8:00. Perfect!

Masters13 cmp9

 Signs like this was placed throughout and if you didn’t see a sign, there was always an attendant worker close by to ask.

Masters13 cmp8

 Beautiful! This is the Practice Driving Range. Not many golfers were out yet. We walked most of the course just looking.

Masters 13 cmp3

 Mandatory photo opt!

Masters 13 cmp6

 We thought there were a lot of people here at this time. NOT! You have no idea!!!

Masters 13 cmp5

Butler Cabin – not really what I think of as a ‘cabin’ , very beautiful.

Masters 13 cmp4

 Walking and looking

 Beautiful azaleas along with other native plants filled the course with blooms.

The Masters Famous Pimento Cheese Sandwich – PAR 3

 Par 3 – As soon as we sat down at Hole 4 for the Par 3 this is what I looked up and saw.

Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson (and their caddies) were walking up to the green.

What I liked most about the Par 3 were the caddies. The golfers had their families with them. They were relaxed, laughing, joking with the crowd. As well, they signed autographs, the players, not the families…

Mastrs 13 cmp13

 Phil and Bubba

 Where we were sitting, we could see them teeing off for Hole 5.

 Bernhard Langer  (in the red)

Brandt Snedeker hit his ball right into the gallery. It landed, as you can see, in the chair beside my friend.

The food was simple but very good.

Marsters 13 cmp2

Mini Moon Pies (It’s a Southern thing,)
Egg Salad Sandwich
BBQ Sandwiches
Chicken in a Biscuit (for breakfast)
Chicken sandwich and Chicken Wraps
Sugar Cookie Sandwiches with Peach Ice Cream (yum!)

and the famous Pimento Cheese Sandwich which I’ll share a recipe for at the end of this post.

 And, you can’t go to the Masters without buying a little, or a lot, of swag!

    This is too funny. I actually know the Marshall standing over the ball. Just saw his FB post about going out this year. He is one of many volunteers working for the opportunity to play the course in May. Can’t wait to show him the pic you took of him. He probably won’t see it till next week. He is going to be very busy this week. In regards to the pimiento cheese recipe I have always heard that Dukes’s mayonnaise is the one that is used.

      That is so awesome. I had to look back at the pictures to see him. We made good friends with one of the Marshalls, but it wasn’t him. We’ve tried every year to get tickets but haven’t gotten them again. I would love to go back.

      After I wrote this post, I did hear that Duke’s is the preferred mayonnaise. My husband is a die-hard Blue Plate guy and I don’t eat enough mayo to argue with him so I get what he likes. lol. I do want to try Duke’s though. I have a friend that won’t use anything else.

    I’m originally from Russell County, Alabama which borders Columbus,Ga. and I’ve never made it any other way than the recipe you’ve given including the blueplate Mayo my favorite in dishes. Thanks for posting what I feel is a true southern recipe.

    We live close to Muirfield in Dublin, OH where the Memorial Tournament is held each year and I’ve been lucky enough to attend twice through work. Beautiful surroundings and so much fun and excitement! There is nothing like it — and I don’t golf! The recipe sounds yummy! Thanks so much for sharing on busy Monday!

    I live in Augusta and though I do not like pimiento cheese sandwiches there was a recipe in our newspaper yesterday with what is supposed to be the real recipe that they use. It is similar to yours, but slightly different. Here you go:
    8 oz sharp cheddar grated
    4 oz chopped pimiento, drained
    6 Tablespoons mayo (brand not given)
    s&p to taste
    Mix all in food processor. Chill overnight to marry flavors. Enjoy.
    The National is a beautiful course and you did a great job on the photos. I am glad you had a good time. They really do a nice job on traffic and parking. Isn’t the food a great bargain??? People are always surprised at how reasonable it is.

    What an exciting day. Great pictures! We were there for Monday’s practice round. What an experience of a lifetime! I have shared some pics on my blog as well and would love for you to have a look! I hosted a Masters party on Sunday complete with pimento and cheese sandwiches as well!! Spent way too much in the gift shops, but who knows if we will ever get to go again!! Can’t wait to show my husband the picture of the ball in the chair! Too fun.

    How fun to get to go to the Masters. What a gorgeous course and clubhouse. Your photos are fabulous and I feel as if I’m with you. Great job. My father was a scratch golfer and played several times a week. I bought him a cookbook from the Masters one year for his birthday. How he would have loved to go to the Masters.

    Love the pimento cheese sandwich too. I’m a southern gal and we do adore our pimento cheese!

      When I applied for tickets, I knew it would be a long shot to get them. I was very surprised and pleased when I learned we were chosen. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for my husband but I couldnt contain my excitement and told him when I got the confirmation in September!

      Thank you for your kind words, it was really a lot of fun and I’m not a golfer.
