Ask almost anyone and they'll tell you the Masters is an unforgettable experience. Many people want to capture their memories with Masters souvenirs. Some golf fans drop big bucks to take a piece of Masters memorabilia home.

“It could be the one place on earth where men out shop women, the Masters Gift Shop!

“I got my daughter a polo shirt and my son a polo shirt,” said one golf fan.

“A bunch of shirts to take back to the neighbors and friends, said another.

For some golf fans it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to take home these rare items.

“A lot of other tournaments you can buy online, you can buy somewhere else, but this is the one place you can buy this stuff,” said one shopper.

Owning just about anything with the Masters logo on it is worth some bragging rights.

“I have a lot of friends who are very envious today,” said another shopper.

But it’s bragging that doesn't come cheap. One golf fan spent $1,200 on his gifts.

“Well once they picked me up off the floor I was fine,” he said.

For just $80, One man decided to make his Masters memory a permanent one. He got a tattoo.

For others the memories mean just being on the green.

“I am going to kiss that grass before I leave,” said one golf fan.

Some other popular items up for grabs this year were sweaters, silk ties and teddy bears.
