- In Augusta, each player and coach is forbidden to wear shorts
- Fans, also known as customers, can, but the rule is considered golden during
Matt Thurmond suffered an unfortunate blunder in Augusta earlier this week when he was escorted outside the practice.
The golf coach respected Thurmond works with the Spanish amateur star Josele Ballester for the masters of this year.
However, on Monday, Thurmond found himself embarrassed after inadvertently locking a key rule of the emblematic tournament.
In Augusta, players and coaches are not allowed to wear shorts on the course or in training areas, although supporters, called customers, can.
While Thurmond moved to the short -hand practitioner, he spotted the Taiwanese star Kevin Yu, someone he used to train on Arizona State University.
Thurmond went to make up for Yu, but shortly after starting to discuss, a vigilant official of Augusta interrupted and reminded him of the course guidelines and how he had to leave the training zone in his outfit.

Players and coaches are not allowed to wear shorts on the course or in the training areas
By thinking about her unhappy blunder on social networks, Thurmond saw the funny side of this
By taking to X to think about the incident, Thurmond said: “I walked on the Augusta channel today with my coach insignia. I was deleted for carrying shorts.
“First Bogey of the week. Celebrated with a sandwich with egg salad. Pants tomorrow.
He then opened further on his missteps and clearly saw the funny side of what had happened.
“I went out on the scope without thinking, I hugs (yu),” he added. “After about a blow and a quick hello, they went out and said,” I’m sorry, sir, you can’t be on the range with your shorts. “”
“My bad was a mistake I made. I want to follow the rules here when I’m in Augusta and I do everything correctly.
“Fortunately to be here and appreciate everything here. I just made a mistake.
Thurmond admitted that it was flooded with messages after the incident, but it is not the first time that a player or a coach has accidentally violated the golden rule.

The masters of this year are starting on Thursday, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McILroy among the favorites for the tournament.
