At Masters Golf Tourney, No Request is Too Small
Thursday, April 9th, 2015
During one of his many trips to attend the Masters Tournament, retired insurance executive Charles Cramer faced a dilemma: To place his chair down on the edge of the 18th green — so he could have a good view of the winning putt — he would need to get to the Augusta National Golf Club’s main entrance gate by 6 a.m. and wait in line. When that gate opens, ticket holders dash for the 18th to place their chairs.
“I thought: It sure would be nice to have a runner to do it for me,” said Cramer, 73.
In stepped a representative of PrimeSport, an Atlanta-based sports-hospitality company that had arranged Cramer’s trip to Augusta. Cramer’s green folding chair was placed greenside for him while he enjoyed his morning coffee away from the course’s crowds.
