Fitting of a green jacket elsewhere in Augusta....at Hooters!
WHILE those competing in the Masters seek the most sought-after item of clothing in golf, there will be also be the fitting of a green jacket elsewhere in Augusta.
Masters week also coincides with one of the biggest parties of the year at the local Hooters restaurant on Washington Drive – no more than a drive and chip shot from the ‘Members Only’ Augusta National front gates.
Wednesday night saw the final of the ‘Miss Par 3 Swimsuit Contest’, while the highlight of the week is the ‘Green Jacket Bikini Contest’ to be staged tomorrow night.
The contest has not been running as long as the Masters, but Augusta’s newest members, ex-US Secretary of State Condaleezza Rice and Darla Moore, will not be among the entrants.
