Masters

It's been a few years since I was there, but I took in my Nikon DSLR. They really frown on cell phones but I think a camera is ok.

Have never witnessed anyone getting stopped at the gate for a GoPro, but have seen them be quite adamant about the no running and no laying down rules so I have my doubts.

I have been fortunate to attend as well as play the course...(long story!)

As far as tips, here are a few:

1. keep in mind the course all slopes towards the 12th green and some inclines are steep so do your walking to the back nine early in the day....

2. The sandwiches located around the course are awesome and not expensive. Try one!

3. The area between the 1st green, 9th tee and 8th green and 2nd fairway provides a lot of viewing .... consider trying this spot out if you do not have a chair. If you have a chair the 8th tee is a great viewing spot, as well as the 16th green....IMHO

4. Check out the grounds near the clubhouse and in particular the putting green there....very cool.

5. the merchandise is king on site so you will want to get some items for yourself as well as holiday gifts ! People will go nuts when they open their presents!

Enjoy! Have a great time!!
Cheers

Chris - We need to get a round in again and I want to hear the long story about playing ANGC!

I took my camera for practice rounds without issue... got some great photos! I don't see why you couldn't use your Go-Pro.
