25. It's a Master's tradition

Players bounce the ball on a par 3 hole on the Par 3 course that is played on the Wednesday before the Masters.

Interesting fact is the curse. No one who has ever won the Par 3 tournament (which is just for fun for players and spectators) has gone on to win the actual tournament.

I grew up in SC across the Savannah River from Augusta, and was lucky to have a friend with tickets and went to one day each year for about 25 years. When his Mom died, no more tickets. They can pass between spouses but not any further.
