If you ever dreamed of walking the 12th hole of the Augusta National Golf Course during the Masters Tournament but the price was certain to your ass ’til Tuesday, then today is that day.  Never before in the history of the 75 year-old tournament have badges been so cheap and easily obtainable to the general public .  Blame the ecomomy, blame AIG or blame Congress for calling out corporate executives on their frivolous spending habits and ridiculously excessive bonuses, but the fact of the matter is, demand is way down and the opportunity exists for fans to attend the last two days of the Granddaddy of All Golf Tournaments for as less than half of the price of years past.

One day badges  for Thursday and Friday, which typically run between $1000 to $2000 a day sold on the secondary market for $175 to $500. Prices for the weekend are expected to remain about the same, but buyer beware.  Brokers on the web are continuing to post ridiculous prices hoping to catch a few last-minute diehards still packing expendable incomes. I spoke with Andrew at the Austin Ticket Company today and he says prices in Augusta are a great bit lower than the prices you will see online.  So, if you are serious and want to go, pick up the phone and call your ticket broker or give Andrew a call in Augusta: 706.410.1431.

On Thursday, April 9th, some of the best golfers from around the world will head to Augusta, Georgia for the 72-hole, four-day-long 2009 Masters tournament to compete for the coveted Green Jacket (and a butt-load of cash). But for some foolish reason, this event is men-only. And any fool knows that the best way to make anything that’s men-only a hell of a lot better is to add a ton of super hot chicks! Which is precisely what we’ve done here with Gorgeous Girls Golfing: Masters Edition. These ladies will make you want to (insert hole-in-one joke here…).

Last night golf’s bad boy John Daly was found outside a North Carolina Hooters drunk and unconscious.

Winston-Salem police and paramedics tended to Daly but he but was considered uncooperative to their assistance. The drunk and disorderly d-bag was hauled off to the clink to sober up and was released without an arrest record or any pending charges.  Must be nice.

Daly’s booze and gambling vices have destroyed his once promising golf career, but he still remains one one of COED’s favorite Drunken Athletes. And although we can’t quite comprehend how a pro-boozer like Daly could get himself so jacked up on sauce at a Hooters, we can absolutely appreciate why he was there… for the wings of course. As if there was any other reason to go to Hooters???
