Maybe it’s a bonus at work, you win it with the lottery, or even win by listening to your favorite radio station, we can bet you have some ideas of how you could spend $1000 in Augusta.  Right?

There are so many things you could do with some extra cash.  Because, let’s face it, life is expensive.  But let’s just say that this extra $1,000 doesn’t have to be spent on the necessities.  That’s right.  You don’t have to use it for gas, groceries, or bills.  This $1000 is just for you.

Imagine the possibilities.  How would you spend it?  Would you keep it to yourself and buy yourself some new clothes or a day of pampering at the spa? Maybe you want to take your family out for the weekend or even just a day of fun.  Or maybe you’d want to give back to your community. We would never tell you how to spend it.  But we’re here to help generate some fun ideas!

And, of course, there’s always the option to save it.  But for today… we’re going to say you HAVE to spend your $1,000.  It doesn’t have to be on just ONE thing.  And it doesn’t have to all be on one day or one activity.

We decided to ask around the office here to see what the folks around here would spend their cash on. And just for the record, there are a few recurring things on this list.  We really seem to like food and golf!

Check out these 10 exciting ways to spend $1000 in Augusta!

  • Grab Your Favorite Coffees!

    You could buy 170 of your favorite coffee drinks at the Bunker Café at Nine Line Apparel in Grovetown! Like the Snickers Coffee, made with Black Rifle Coffee.  It’s Cody from the Kicks Wake Up Krew’s favorite drink.  Just imagine… 170 coffees would get you caffeinated for quite a while.

  • Gear Up For Golf

    There are a few people in our building (like Dub from the Kicks Wake Up Krew, John Patrick from WGAC, and Fenway from HD 98.3) that would definitely spend their $1,000 on golf gear– from the outfit, to the shoes and clubs! Maybe you don’t spend all of it on the gear so you can still afford to play a few rounds at our local golf courses!
