00:00Augusta National notoriously has strict rules during Masters Week, especially when it comes
00:04to what is and isn't making it into the grounds.
00:07Here's 10 things to leave at home if you're heading to Augusta.
00:10Cell phones.
00:11This is a big no-no at Augusta National.
00:13All mobile phones are banned from the grounds, but it doesn't stop there.
00:17Anything that can transmit video or audio, including a pager, laptop or tablet, are strictly
00:22prohibited.
00:23Weapons.
00:24Now, you would think this one was obvious, but due to gun regulations in America, it's
00:28one that has to be reinforced, as even if you have a permit to carry, there are no guns
00:32allowed.
00:33Music is another red card offender at Augusta National, and any music-emitting device, including
00:37a TV, speaker or radio, is not making it past the guards.
00:41Backpacks over a certain size.
00:43Augusta runs a strict sizing policy on bags, much like many airlines.
00:47The rule is designed to ensure that all patrons can get a good view of the action, without
00:51towering backpacks or luggage blocking the views.
00:53Flags, banners and signs also need to be left at the gate, as well as strollers, so if you're
00:58bringing your kids, they'd better be ready to clock up some serious steps on the day.
01:01Everyone at Augusta is given a fair chance at spectating, so that means ladders, periscopes
01:06if you have one, and even a selfie stick will be in breach of the rules.
01:10Footwear is another category that is tightly policed, and while golf shoes are allowed,
01:14metal spikes are not permitted to set foot on the property.
01:17Patrons can't bring their own food or drink into the grounds at Augusta, however the tournament
01:21is renowned for putting on an incredible spread of delicious and uniquely affordable
01:25sandwiches and desserts.
01:27Chairs are a big thing at Augusta National, and you may have noticed that they all look
01:30the same.
01:31That's because patrons are prohibited from bringing seats or chairs with pointed ends,
01:35so many opt to purchase an iconic master's chair from the tournament shop.
