Hats and golf shirts seem to be the most popular items being purchased at Augusta National’s gift shops during this week’s Masters.
“It’s almost like Christmas in April here,” Virginia Beach resident Ron Lefton said, his clear gift bag resting between his feet.
It was Lefton’s second trip to the gift shop in as many days. He estimated he spent $600 on pictures, shirts, ball-markers, golf balls and hats for himself, wife and friends.
Among the different items, Augusta National offered different cases for I-phones featuring images of the famous golf course. Those were also popular items.
The most expensive item appeared to be a set of $880 gold cuff links with the Masters symbol.
Augusta National declined to share any financial information related to souvenir sales.
