The Masters is back in full swing, and so are its famously affordable food and drink offerings. Much like
Wimbledon,
London, Augusta National
golf Club is specifically designed around hosting the most prestigious golf major of the year. However, unlike its
British counterpart, the cost of refreshments here won't break the bank. The concession stands offer a variety of sandwiches, breakfast items, beverages, and snacks. Starting with the sandwiches, an iconic pimento cheese will only set you back $1.50. If you're looking for something a bit more substantial, a pork Bar-B-Que or a chicken salad on honey wheat bread will cost you just $3. Breakfast options are equally budget-friendly. A chicken biscuit may cost you $3.00, but a blueberry muffin is a steal at $2.00. A blend of fresh brewed coffee is also priced at $2, which is less than the price of a tall brew from Starbucks. Snacks are also reasonably priced. barbecue crisps and peanuts are $1.50, while caramel popcorn is $2. Georgia peach ice cream sandwiches are the priciest snack at $3. Beer and wine are the most expensive items on the menu, with a pint (roughly speaking) and a glass of white both priced at $6 each. Even so, they're still significantly cheaper than most
New York bars and far more cost-effective than the $16 two-pint cans sold at New York Yankees games. Prices at Augusta National remain surprisingly low, and it seems there's no pressing need to hike them up. The venue rakes in ample profits from other sources, allowing them to keep costs down for patrons in what is a genuinely classy move. Speaking to MarketWatch, Victor Matheson, an economics professor at the College of the Holy Cross, remarked: "For the vast majority of businesses, we assume business owners are profit maximizers, which means they are in the business of squeezing every last dollar they can out of their customers. In sports, we don't necessarily see that."
