When hosting, preparing, and setting up the Masters Tournament, there are many things you must have ready; one of them being a large tent rental.
The infamous golf tournament – you know, the one that has been donning the best of the best in green jackets since the 1930’s – is getting ready to kick off this year in Augusta, Georgia.
From April 11th through April 14th, golfers and golf fanatics from around the world will be hoping to watch history be made.
Or, make history themselves.
Hosting the Masters Tournament
Because the entire tournament is held outdoors, everyone – and everything – is at the mercy of the weather.
Sure, Georgia has some beautiful weather this time of year. But sometimes there is just a need for shelter.
Choosing to rent a clear span fabric structure for the 2019 Masters Tournament can have many benefits; ranging from merchandise and attendee protection, to medic tents.
Here are just 6 of these benefits.
1. Protect the Merchandise
Everyone who is able to attend this historic event wants memorabilia to prove it.
What better way to do that than through purchasing some merchandise while there. And the best idea you can have would be to sell it from under a tent rental.
Unfortunately, with so many people and such wide open spaces, leaving your merchandise wide open – without boundaries – can leave you subject to chaos and even theft.
In addition, while the weather is often nice in April, you cannot predict it.
It would be a great loss to have all the merchandise out for purchase – and then have it soaked and potentially ruined due to a passing shower.
With a tent rental, you can be sure to have a designated, protected space to sell merchandise from. And, with the overhead protects (and even the sidewalls if you choose), any inclement weather that may pop up will be a moot point for you.
2. Allow Room for the Thousands in Attendance
Thousands of people attend the Masters Tournament every year.
- For some, it’s a mark on their bucket list.
- For others it’s out of a love for the sport.
- Still, others come just to see what all the hype is about.
So, maneuvering these individuals can become quite a task. The result means that many are often standing in line for extended periods of time.
Extended exposure to the sun can be hot and make some feel faint.
In fact, there are serious health concerns that result from the sun’s effects.
By renting tents as “cooling stations,” you are providing those in attendance with an area to cool down and remain in a healthy functioning state.
3. You Can’t Predict the Weather
As we’ve been talking about above, you cannot predict weather.
According to its website, the city of Augusta has high temperatures of around 79-degrees, low temperatures around 47-degrees, and an average of 4.31 inches of precipitation in April.
In other words, it could be cold, it could be hot, it could be dry, and it may very well rain.
Truth is, you don’t know what the weather will be like when the Masters Tournament is scheduled, but you surely just can switch it.
So, you do the next best thing – prepare for it.
Designating a large tent rental for those in attendance to relax, cool down, warm up, or stay dry will be a great investment – and addition – the event.
4. Keep the Security Organized – and the Security Officers Comfortable and Focused
There are many things on the “do not bring” list for the Masters Tournament.
Because of this – and to provide a great sense of safety for everyone involved – there are security checkpoints set up at the entrance.
For example, do not try to enter with any of the following prohibited items:
- Cell Phones
- Bags, Backpacks, Purses, Packages larger than 10″W x 10″H x 12″D
- Beepers/Electronic Devices
- Cameras (Cameras are allowed ONLY on Practice Rounds days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
- Weapons of any kind (regardless of permit)
- Alcoholic beverages
- Beverage containers/Coolers
- Flags / Banners / Signs
- Folding armchairs/Rigid type chairs or stools. If you bring a chair, make sure it’s a collapsible one without armrests.
- Ladders / Periscopes / Selfie Sticks
- Radios / TVs / Tape Recorders
- Strollers
- Walkie-talkies
While the security crew is checking everyone who enters the gates, a tent will designate the specific secure checkpoints, providing a clear area for them.
In addition, a tent will help to keep everyone comfortable as they wait in line. And the security officers, too, of course.
5. The Food Menu Is Amazing – Keep the Atmosphere Amazing Too
Rumor has it that the food you will find at the Master’s tournament is delicious. And, very affordable.
But having tents to, again, designate a specific space for the food being served can not only be welcomed by the vendor, but also the customer.
Tents can help increase the chance of proper health safety methods for the food, reducing its exposure to things in the air and people walking by.
Besides, who wouldn’t welcome an ice cold drink and a few minutes of shade?
6. Medics Always Need a Tent
Finally, because of the sport and the number of people, there will be medics on-site.
These medics are going to require a private area to handle anything that comes up throughout the tournament.
Privacy for the staff – and the injured party – is a must.
A tent can provide this space.
In addition, the supplies and so forth used by medics need to be stored – and organized – for access in an emergency.
Using a tent can provide a space that can be treated as a more permanent space, allowing for more efficient medical treatment.
Conclusion
The Masters Tournament is so much different from other sports. PGA Golf involves a lot of quiet – and a lot of waiting.
This means the attendees will have time on their hands and will be looking for a nice space to spend it.
Tent rentals can provide a lot of functional use throughout the entire tournament when it comes to safety and health concerns.
This will allow more people to focus on the sport and not any inconvenience around them.
At the end of the day, it is all about the golf, right?
