It's Masters Time .....Y'all!

It is that time of the year again ...... MASTERS TIME!  That means Azaleas, Badges, Green Jackets & Pimento Cheese Sandwiches. One of the most prestigious, talked about & desirable place that everyone wants to visit the August National Golf Club. Even with all the tradition and excitement that surrounds the tournament, one surprising thing that many rave about while wandering the beautifully manicured greens & watching some of golf's finest is the FOOD! And, not the food you might expect at one of the most prestigious venues in the country.

We're talking about the almost world famous Pimento Cheese Sandwiches & Egg Salad Sandwiches. And as cheap they are at the course, they can now be yours from the comfort of your couch while you dream of yourself experiencing the Masters Tournament!
