People come from all over the world for the golf and the beauty of The Masters Tournament. I still remember the first time I saw the course; it was magical and maybe the prettiest place I have ever been. I mean, everything seems perfect.

One thing that caught me by surprise is how hilly it is. TV doesn’t do it justice. It is a workout to follow the golfers. That’s why it’s always easier when you have a Masters cocktail in hand—Ahhh, the Masters Azalea cocktail, a cool springtime drink everyone wants to try.

The Azalea is an Augusta National Golf Club must-have when you visit these hallowed grounds. This is the recipe, according to the Masters pinterest account.

Serve in a plastic Masters souvenir cup for the complete experience.

If this is your first time on the course, you'll find the prices to be, well, unexpectedly inexpensive. You can eat lunch for around five or six bucks. My go-to is a pimento cheese sandwich with some Masters chips and a drink. The menu is simple, and the food is excellent. Some folks, me included, usually take home a few sandwiches, and you can enjoy a homemade Masters Azalea while watching the tournament at home.

Whatever your plans for the day at Augusta National Golf Club, know you can live in the moment. No phones are allowed on the grounds at any time, so leave your device in your car. However, you can make your friends jealous by "checking in" on social media from the Augusta National Golf Club before leaving your vehicle. They'll love you for that!

Have fun, and enjoy your time at The Masters. Now, you can also make your own Azalea while watching the tournament from home.
