Masters wall graphic: $195
Only available two years ago to members, this stunning framed image of the Cat Studio graphic using stainless steel and other artistic touches is $195 and limited to 500. I’ve got the 2017 edition next to my desk and have enjoyed the craftsmanship, beauty and wit inserted into this gem. Compared to a price golf shirt or sweater, a veritable steal.
Umbrella
The iconic Masters umbrella—complete with a golf grip—is still available but this handy smaller pop-up in the women’s section can be used by all. Sporting a green faux-leather handle this is a much more convenient way to stave off the rain.
“Ladies Fit” Hat: $26
The first of many stellar 2019 hats, this “Ladies Fit” was desperately wanted by men in the shop loving the simple Masters font. For $26, men with thin faces can pull this off. The club logo is printed under the bill as well, a nice touch.

High quality beach towels come in four colors, including Masters green. But the new “beach blue” was a favorite already at $35.
Garden Gnome: $38
Last year’s uber-popular garden gnome is back with more pins, buttons and a Masters folding chair over his shoulder. He’s gone up in price, but is still a steal at $38.
