Golf Fan Trades Wife for Master’s Badge




Augusta, GA – In a move reminiscent of the popular 1993 movie “Indecent Proposal”, a man traded his wife for 24 hours in exchange for a 2008 Master’s golf tournament ticket. The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, told us that they met a ticket-broker at a Hooter’s Restaurant on Washington Avenue in Augusta. The broker agreed to accept the services of the wife in exchange for a one-day badge to the fabled tournament. Asked if this arrangement could cause problems in their marriage going forward, the man replied “Are you kidding? I got to go to the Master’s ‘sans’ the wife. We’ll do this again next year”. The wife told us that she was pleased with the deal and looks forward to her next trip to Augusta. As for what particular services were rendered in exchange for the ticket, the couple wouldn’t say. The leadership of Augusta National Golf Club officially frowns upon trading tickets among patrons, but they declined further comment.
