And then came depression.

We regret to inform you that you are a pathetic loser and we would never give you tickets because you are not an old super rich white man with senate connections.

Hmmm wonder if it's a good thing I haven't got the rejection letter yet 

I still haven’t gotten the email either. I logged in to see it.

Nope.  Dream is to take my father while he is healthy.  I hope this happens soon.

In the same boat, and I'm running out of time.

I have been telling anyone and everyone that is in to golf to apply, and finally my Uncle hit for the Monday practice round for the 2019 Masters...and he invited me for telling him about it. It will be me, my two uncles, and MY DAD. I am beyond fortunate to be able to check this bucket list item off with the man that taught me the game. 

I assume booking accommodations needs to be done immediately?

Should have booked when you applied.  Shit's gonna be crazy expensive now.

First time I went I stayed outside Charleston.  It wasn't a bad drive if you're only going one day.  Last year we rented a house 15 minutes from the course.  It was cheaper than hotels nearby.

Any tips would be appreciated for lodging.

I'm just gonna book 2 hotel rooms at the I-20/Washington Road intersection. Seems like a lot of hotels there. We do not want to spend a lot, but I want a hotel bar, at least.

Been twice.  Stayed at Reynold's Plantation both times.  Great place to play and about 1:20 away from Augusta.  Congrats.

That's a good location, just be prepared to spend 300-400 for a crappy days inn or equivalent. The nicer Spingfield Suite type places are permanently booked by the travel companies that put the packages together. Generally if you do air bnb it is for the whole week. If you don't want to enjoy some beers on the course go to Akin, Columbia, etc.

Also there is a bar on the backside of the course that could pass for the place in Animal House where they see Otis Redding perform. High comedy. It's off Breckmans road.

Also, hotel bar not necessary, you can always go the hotel bar at another place and then walk or uber home. There is a wing place on the other side of 20 from the course and a number of places in between that and hooters. Downtown is always an interesting experience as well.

You referring to having to drive from Augusta, or is Aiken dry or something? We have a tee time at the Aiken Golf Club bc its all that was available, and I refuse to play golf without beer.

I got 2 rooms on the other side of 20. I couldn't find any other hotel in Augusta.
