Masters Golf Tournament-a Tradition like no other Sport

Spring in the North Georgia mountains begins early, that new life in March and already in February. Enjoy northern Georgia exquisite display of dogwoods, azaleas, wildflowers and mountain laurels as butterflies and hummingbirds visit the colourful and fragrant flowers. Ellijays expansive apple orchards are blossoming with aromatic and beautiful apple blossoms because days becomes warmer and longer. The best thing to do is to take time to plan before hand for miscellaneous activities you may have in mind.
As mentioned earlier, Butternut Creek, Whitepath, Brasstown Valley for public games. Although there have been various debates and protests against it, tradition says, the Club still give no membership to women.
There are some controversial and some well beloved traditions of The Masters golf tournament, all of whom add prestige and intrigues around the contest and that is probably why it is still the biggest event in golf calendar each year. All golfande's won there, including several wins of golf legends as Jack Nicklaus (who holds the record for most WINS in 6), Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer and Phil Mickelson. He won The Masters is the greatest honour for any golfer in the world.
o "The Arch," an iron gate can be found on everything from UGA logo for t-shirts is representative of the Arch on campus who was an original gateway to school. Legend has it that if a freshman walking under The Arch in its first year, he will never graduate.
o when UGA Bulldogs have won a home football game, call the school's Chapel Bell traditionally until midnight. Except when Georgia beat Georgia Tech, one of his greatest rivals-then the clock dials all night! In the old days, it was the job of freshmen do the hard work of small bell-today, fans, students and alumni all take turns.
o during the season 2007 the clock dials after UGAS defeat over the University of Florida, when 877 pound bell fell. It has since been back to the platform.
o The Bulldogs like to get their opponents "Between the Hedges." This is a reference to the breeds which grow around the playfield Sanford Stadium and goes back to the hilariously, when a sports author made reference.
o 1939 decided coach Wally Butts silver pants would match well with the Red jerseys-now began at the beginning of the Bulldog "silver britches." Although Coach Vince Dooley amended the pants into white for several years, silver britches was brought back in 1980, and was worn during the school's national championship season.
o UGA have student ID cards and travel in their own dog house with air conditioning! Since bulldogs are susceptible to heat stroke, football game, he spends perched on bags of ice. If few opposing groups to turn to his precious ice, growls he community legal system. He is a tough pup, who wears a jersey with a Varsity letter and a spiked collar.
o called costumed bulldog mascot "Hairy dawg."
