“Nobody goes out anymore; it’s too crowded” is a classic Yogi Berra line but it could also be used to describe the thinking of Masters competitors looking for a place to eat at around Augusta National.
One of the findings of conducting the annual Golfweek Masters Survey is that the majority of competitors hire their own chef to cater meals so they don’t have to fight traffic or wait for a table after a long day at the course. It used to be you could go to T-Bonz and see Fred Couples in one corner and Ernie Els in another. While John Daly still sets up shop at the local Hooters on Washington Road, it's becoming more of a rarity to see players out at Augusta’s many fine dining establishments.
That was the question for this survey: Where’s your favorite place to eat in Augusta? Here are some of the answers of those who still like to frequent some of the local fare.
My wife and I go to the Bonefish Grill quite a bit. We don’t see too many of those anymore.
It’s hard not to say the Champions Locker Room. I do like the Grill Room. It has a nice view of the course, which you don’t get in the Champions Room.
We ate at Carrabba’s (Italian Grille) every night.
The locker room. The burger is delicious and I love the soup. Just the history in there and sitting there and looking out is pretty special. I’d like to eat in the Champions Locker Room. That’s the next goal.
The caddie hut. I never go eat in the locker room. I always hang out and eat in the caddie hut.
My rental house. We get a chef.
The clubhouse. I got to eat dinner there once with a couple members and it was spectacular.
Beck’s.
The players lounge.
Frog Hollow. That place is good.
Locker room looking out to No. 1.
I didn't eat many places but I did eat at the famous Hooters.
I’ve been fortunate to have my brother come cook for me. I enjoy his home-cooked meals.
I typically have somebody cook for us just because it makes the week so much easier. But sometimes you go early and on those occasions, I love Abel Brown’s, an oyster, steak joint with a pretty good bourbon menu and it's right there in that French Market area.
