00:00You can't run, which I don't know if people would know at home, and that's because the
00:06way that they open the grounds in the morning is a very orderly affair, and everybody lines
00:12up by this gate, and a lot of people have their chair, and as soon as they open the
00:18gates, people want to run to go and put their chair obviously by the 18th green or any main
00:23corner or whatever they might want it to be, but you cannot run or you will get told off
00:27maybe you kicked out of Augusta Dashiell, so it's this hilarious sight of a sea of people
00:31kind of speed walking, wiggling as fast as they can, and then what I think is one of the
00:35coolest things about these chairs is, you know, you put it down wherever you like, put
00:41your business card in the back, and that will be there for the rest of the day.
00:45Everyone kind of understands there's like this unwritten rule at Augusta that there's a sea
00:49of empty green chairs sometimes, and whoever's got the business card in the back, that's their
00:55chair, and they will come back at some point and sit there.
00:58Fascinating.
00:59I mean, if you wanted to sit there for 30 minutes and no one's there, it probably wouldn't
01:02matter, but it's this incredible kind of unwritten rule that's just a respectful way of how the
01:09patrons are treated and kind of some of the access that they have at Augusta National.
