Augusta GA. VS. Green Bay WI.
Packer Fans and season ticket holders are part of an elite club. There is a long waiting list to get a membership in the season ticket holders club at the frozen tundra.
There is another elite club I visited today, and the difference between the two is remarkable, but more importantly very sad.
I was in Augusta Georgia today and picked up my ticket (Which I over paid for.) for the Masters. I then thought I might pick up a score card and golf shirt from the Augusta National Golf Club, and check out the grounds.
No such luck. The hallowed confines of Augusta National Golf Course can not be entered. There is no tour, no guides, and in-fact there is not even a look at the course from the road as they have maintained and cultivated hedges that would make the hedge rows in France during the Normandy Invasion on D-Day look like a shrub in a Detroit City park.
Security looked at me as a pest, a fly that should be swatted away. The locals cringed and muttered under their breath “Jeese, here is another one” I looked at them and thought I am a fan. I am a die hard fan of the game, of the ultimate tournament, on one of the ultimate tracks, in the history of the game of golf.
St. Andrews has tours on Tuesdays. The average golf fan can walk the course. I have a friend of mine who has a picture of his two year old sitting in the sand of the most famous sand trap in the world on “The Road Hole”
There is an atmosphere of “OLD MONEY” that hangs around Augusta like a bad stench.
I envy you, the Packer Fan that is part of the elite group that was born into “OLD PASSION”. Now some of you may be wondering “What the hell is old passion?” Old passion is it is an elite club, as elite as a membership at Augusta, and you can not get in unless you are born into it.
Being born into Old Passion is being born to parents that were avid Packer Fans. Being born into old passion is having pictures of yourself at the age of three with your Daddy holding you up while wearing his Number 66 Packer Jersey.
Being born into old passion is having Packer Season Tickets that has been in the family and passed down to the children it is a very elite group.
Being born into “Old Money” is having a Membership at Augusta and a trust fund that has been in the family and passed down to the children and it is a very, very different elite group.
Old Passion is much more pleasing than Old Money.
I have come to the conclusion that being born into “Old Passion” Is better than being born into “Old Money.”
Old passion has nicer people than old money.
