Masters Week and the 10th annual World Golf Hall of Fame Putting Championship are the perfect time to visit the Hall of Fame! Enjoy learning about Hall of Fame members who are Masters champions as you take a special scavenger hunt through the Hall of Fame and enjoy a photo opportunity with the Masters trophy. All scavenger hunt participants will be entered to win a Masters prize pack featuring a signed pin flag from past Masters Champions, Phil Mickelson and Sandy Lyle. The broadcast will be shown throughout the Museum during the week. All residents of Augusta, Ga. receive free admission with ID.

There will also be a hole-in-one contest from April 12-14 on the Hall's 150-yard Challenge Hole. Guests can participate in a hole-in-one contest to win a 2014 Masters Tournament vacation package.

Participants will pay $5 for two shots (or $10 for five shots) and the first person to make a hole-in-one on their first shot wins the grand prize. The Masters vacation package includes admission for two to Saturday-Sunday rounds and two nights of accommodations.
