Masters tickets now on sale

Tickets are now on sale for the 1966 Masters Tournament, April 7-10, at the Augusta National Golf Club.

Golf fans should not make a trip to the famed event without purchasing in advance their admission requirements. Cliff Roberts, Masters Tournament chairman, said, "Last year we were greatly embarrassed by having to turn away large numbers who were apparently unaware that tickets were no longer available."

Applications for series badges or daily tickets should be mailed to the Masters Tournament. Price of series badges is $15. This includes practice rounds and playoff in case of a tie. Daily admission tickets are $2 for practice rounds, $5 for the first two days of the tournament and $7.50 for the last two days.
