Augusta Merchant Confirms: Golf Fans Pretty One-Dimensional

Lisa Kaylor on some of the local preparations in Augusta for the arrival of Masters fans, including the local museum where there is a golf exhibit.

Everyone else is not bracing much impact.

Capt. Jim Bradshaw, the owner of Patriot Riverboat Tours, said Masters Week will be business as usual.

Bradshaw, who has operated the boat tours for five years, said that although he will get a few extra visitors, traffic won’t pick up enough to affect the way he usually does business.

“It seems like they come here to golf, drink, eat and go to sleep,” he said.
