Masters, at Lake Oconee?  Did you think that the Masters Golf Tournament was in Augusta, Georgia?  Of course it is, but the Lake Oconee area, only about 80 miles to the west on Interstate 20,  is hopping during Masters Week, too!  Many Masters patrons enjoy staying in the lake area to avoid the congested traffic,  crowded restaurants,  high prices in the Augusta area during the week of the Masters Golf Tournament.  Many golf lovers combine attendance at the tournament for a half day of watching golf, with a half day of playing their own golf at Lake Oconee.  If one enters  I-20  at Greensboro, it is an express-way drive to the famous Washington Road exit near Augusta … (0 comments)
