Atlanta, USA
For golfers, April means one thing, The Masters at Augusta. Every golfer has spent that first full week of April transfixed by the legends of the game doing battle across Alister MacKenzie’s Georgian masterpiece. It’s a course on which icons of the game – Palmer, Woods, Player, Faldo and Nicklaus are among the multiple winners – have become all-time greats as they tackle Pink Dogwood, Yellow Jasmine, Azalea, Golden Bell and their fellow florally named holes. And it's a golfing event that transcends the sport to the point where even the most casual fan can discuss ‘Amen Corner’ and everyone knows of the prestige that comes with those that win the ‘Green Jacket’.
Witnessing The Masters first-hand, seeing the most skilled golfers on the planet up close, attempting to beat a course that has confounded even the very best for almost ninety years is simply unforgettable. Combine that with the experience of Atlanta, including the epic food scene, which takes you from Nan Thai Fine Dining to the grilled genius of Fox Bros Bar-B-Q, to the best steaks and seafood of Bones, and you have a golf experience to dine out on for years to come.
