Where to shop off-course during golf tournament week

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Augusta has some places to shop while you’re off the course.

Escape Outdoors is one of several places that have a little something for everyone.

Whether you need new clothes for the course or forgot your clothes, local stores in the area are ready to help out.

“It’s like Christmas on steroids. It’s the greatest week of the year,” said Jackson Marshall, Escape Outdoors.

They are ready to fill the needs of whatever patrons may need. Another locally owned store, Cudos2u, says over the past five years, visitors are looking for items unique to Augusta.

“This week, in particular, we see a lot of people, of course looking for golf items. Local items are super important to people,” said General Manager Judy Moody.

And hopes to show off what this area has to offer.

“Putting on our best face for, you know, the city and all the out-of-town guests that get to see and learn about us and our city. Just all the neat things Augusta has to offer, and we hope we’re one of them,” she said.

For Escape Outdoors, they know where the most money is going to be spent, but want patrons to give them a look too.

“Hopefully, hopefully, our goal is that they buy stuff to wear to the Augusta National, not the stuff that they take home from Augusta National because nobody wants to wear a Masters shirt to the Masters. You gotta wear the other brands until you get your Masters shirts,” said Marshall.

They’ve even had their own traffic signs guiding patrons in the right direction, both places are excited to see the fresh faces in town and show what Augusta has to offer.
