Masters tickets are gold so it is not surprising folks would try to scam the system. Practice round tickets are $75 and The Masters has a lottery for those tickets for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before the tournament actually begins. I have been fortunate to have been several times and it is a true experience. I am no longer entering the lottery as the hills have kept growing over the years and I cannot navigate them. The security is very tight about entering and apparently the behind the scenes security caught this one.
If they put that much work into opening an actual business, they'd probably be well off today and not looking at prison time.

The criminals are probably unaware of how much effort they had to put into the scam.

If I went to the Masters and found out my ticket was fake...................
I don't know what I'd do.
Golfing is fascist. They force you to be quiet while in play.

Cry and be pissed off! Simple rule - be aware of strangers selling Masters tickets.

LOL IF you don't like being quiet then stay home and see it on TV. You will not have to be quiet in your own home. Hell I like it quiet when I go fishing. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Fishing is for idiots.
You are lucky enough to catch a fish, then you throw it back.
IDIOT!
(I guess you can teach a man to fish, but they aren't smart enough to keep it.)

I fish, I just don't want to clean them, so I always throw them back.

I take it you don't know how to relax.... It's not about keeping what you catch, it's about the peace and solitude, sitting along the water with nature.
You should try it sometime.
