Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout them Masters flags. You know, the ones they got at that fancy golf place, Augusta National? Folks go crazy for ’em, I tell ya, crazy!
I heard tell you can’t just go buy these flags anytime you want. Nope! You gotta wait for that Masters Tournament thing. That’s when they open up them little shops and stands, and folks line up like ants at a picnic, I reckon. They sell all sorts of stuff there, but them flags, oh boy, them flags are somethin’ special.
- They got different sizes, you know. Big ones, small ones, some for your house, some for your garden.
- I even seen some folks puttin’ ’em right on their lawns, like they own the place or somethin’.
- I guess it’s their way of showin’ they like that golf game. Me? I’d rather watch the chickens peckin’ in the yard, but to each their own, I always say.
Now, from what I gather, these flags ain’t cheap. People pay good money for ’em, especially if they got some fancy writin’ on ’em. Like, if a golf player signs his name? Forget about it! Them things go for a fortune, I betcha. More money than I ever seen in my life, that’s for sure.
I heard tell they used to give out prizes for gettin’ a special score in the game. Used to be them highball glasses, you know, for fancy drinks. Then they switched to them goblet things. Sounded mighty fragile to me. Now, I don’t know what they give out, but them flags, they’re always a big deal.
Some folks even sellin’ these flags online, on that “eBay” thing my grandson talks about. He says you can find just about anything on there. Masters flags for sale, he showed me. All different kinds, some signed, some not. Free shippin’ too, whatever that means. Prices all over the place, though. Some folks tryin’ to make a quick buck, I reckon.
I seen a picture of one of them flags. It had some kinda fancy design on it, a picture of that golf place, I think. Said it was “authentic Masters merchandise,” whatever that means. Said you gotta hand wash it, too. Imagine that! Washin’ a flag! I just toss mine in the machine with the rest of the laundry, dirt and all.
You can get them house flags too, they said. Big ol’ things, like forty-one inches long and twenty-eight inches wide. Got a slot for a flagpole, so you can fly it high and proud. Show your love for the game, they say. Well, I love a good biscuit with butter and honey more, but that’s just me.
They got all sorts of other things too, from what I hear. Autographs from the golf champions, invitations to fancy dinners, pins and scorecards. But them flags, they always seem to be the main attraction. Signed Masters flags, they call ’em. Big collectors’ items, I guess. Folks keepin’ ’em safe like they’re made of gold.
So, if you’re one of them golf fans, I guess you already know all this. But for folks like me, who just hear about these things from the sidelines, it’s kinda interestin’. Seein’ what people get excited about, spendin’ their hard-earned money on. Me? I’d rather buy a new hen house, but like I said, to each their own.
The Masters, huh? Sound like a big to-do. And them flags? Well, they’re just a little piece of the puzzle, I reckon. A symbol of somethin’ special to some folks. And that’s just fine. You want a flag? Go get yourself a flag. Just don’t ask me to wash it for ya.
