Hey Brother,

One of the coolest parts of finally making it to the Masters is the shopping. You can’t buy any of the official gear online, so when you’re there you know it’s a one-shot deal. I went in with a plan: grab thoughtful gifts for my wife Alex, our three kids, my in-laws who are huge golf fans, my buddy Michael, and even my mentor.

Here’s the complete haul I brought home, what I spent, and the practical tips I wish I’d known before I walked into the shop.

Shopping Strategy That Saved Time The pro shop runs like a well-oiled machine even when it’s packed. Expect lines, especially on Saturday, but if you’re with a group you might be able to get an exit-only pass to skip the worst of it. I focused on hats and shirts for everyone first, then the smaller fun items at checkout.

NEW MASTERS TOURNAMENT GOLF KELLY GREEN HAT 5 PANEL TRUCKER SNAPBACK VINTAGE

Hats for the Whole Family I grabbed tech hats for every single one of us – super comfortable, great sun protection, and they actually look good. The green logo hat for my father-in-law, a couple of the performance styles for the kids, and a bucket hat for my daughter. These will get worn all summer.

The Legendary Masters Gnome This thing is a must-buy. One per person only, so get in line early. I picked one up for my in-laws because they’ll actually display it and enjoy it way more than we would at home.

Apparel & Personal Items I picked up a sharp Masters tie for speaking gigs, some fun socks, a couple of performance shirts (including a sleeveless one for my wife), and a golf towel for my father-in-law. Everything feels high quality and will actually get used.

New Masters 2020 Tournament Champions ⛳ Augusta National Tshirt Unisex Small

Fun Gifts for the Kids & Keepsakes My daughter got a pink golf ball stuffy she’s going to love. We also grabbed a framed 12th-hole painting for the in-laws and a family ornament so we can remember the trip every year.

Smaller Items & Accessories Ball markers and a divot tool set for my father-in-law, plus the iconic Crow’s Nest koozie cup for my buddy Michael.

The Total Bill & My Honest Take 22 items. $1,082.99. It wasn’t cheap, but when you realize you may never be back and you can’t buy any of this stuff online, it becomes an easy decision. I’d rather spend the money on memories my family can actually enjoy than regret not grabbing things while I was there.

Practical Tips for Any Dad Going to the Masters

Make a quick list before you walk in – family sizes, who likes what.
Prioritize the limited items (gnome, specific hats).
The M’s shopping bags they give you are actually really nice for getting everything home.
If you’re shipping anything, do it from the shop – saves suitcase space.

6–8 Highly Actionable Steps for Dads

Put special trips like the Masters on your family bucket list and start planning early.
When you go, shop with intention – think about what each person will actually use or enjoy.
Grab the “one per person” items first (gnome, certain hats).
Buy practical gear like hats and towels that get real use year-round.
Budget for the haul ahead of time so you don’t stress at checkout.
Turn souvenirs into traditions – ornaments, yearly golf towels, or family photo ops in the new gear.
Document the trip and haul so your kids remember the story behind each item.
Share the experience with other dads – you never know who you might inspire to chase their own bucket-list moments.

Brother, these kinds of trips and thoughtful gifts are what build the memories that last. Whether you’re lucky enough to go in person or just dreaming about it, it’s all about creating something your family will talk about for years.

If you’ve been to the Masters, what did you buy? What’s on your must-get list for next time? Drop it in the comments or on the video – I’d love to hear your stories.
