Augusta, ga.
At the age of 16, Houston had a rare opportunity to use a public phone for the first time.
“It was cool,” said Abraham, who called his friends, attending Masters Par 3 competitions with his father Sid. “I’ve never used before. I understood.
Augusta National requires their patrons and other electronic devices from their patrons. Instead of these security blankets, there are several state telephone banks of these reversing devices since the past days. They are foreign vision for many in the younger generation who have never seen the phone with a cord.
Abraham is no different from most teenagers – or adults – who are very tied to the world through their mobile phones.
At some point, the patrons are likely to check their phone – stroking your pockets, reaching for the clip on the belts wherever it is.
And if they can’t find it, well …
“This is a panic regime,” Abraham said. “We were in the 18th and I went to get to my pocket and it wasn’t there. Then I remembered it in the car.”
He was not one.
“I checked my pockets on my phone today at least 10 times,” said Ryan O’Conno from Little -Rock, Arkansas. “I was sitting in whiters on the 16th green color, and someone threw a bottle of water, and it made a loud noise, and I instinctively reached for my phone. Not there.”
The line in the state phone can reach up to 10 people deep in the midst of the masters. And although they provide a way out for those who want to touch the base with the world outside the gate of Augustus, there are some problems that go with them.
Like, remembering the phone numbers.
Bill Keho, 50 years old, with Religion, North Carolina, prepared.
When he approached public phones, Keho pulled out a piece of paper with a handful of names and numbers written on their black charp. He took the receiver on the phone, punched the “1” number to start the call, and then looked at the paper and entered the rest of the rooms to complete the free call.
“I can’t even remember my own phone number, let alone a stranger’s number,” Keho joked. “They are all saved in my phone.”
One of the calls he made was up to his 14-year-old Son Connor, who was on the school hunting in Washington. Dc
Connor asked his father to call in a pre -disassembled time while he was on the bus, and his classmates of the 8th grade were shocked when his subscriber’s identifier jumped out as a “national golf -building.”
“You could hear all the children like: ‘Oh, it’s so cool! “,” Keho said laughly. “But then they all started asking the goods, so I had to hang up.”
The reasons that patrons violate their roundabout round to call.
One person urged to hear about the dramatic movement of the day on the stock market. The other said he registered with work. And a few others were just touching bases with family or loved ones.
Tyler Johnson and his wife Lauren called Horgia, Georgia to check out his 5-year-old son, who stays with his grandparents, “make sure there is no blood,” Tyler said with laughter. When Mom and Dad alternated, talking to their son, they took pictures of each other, talking on a strange black public phone.
“I think the last time I used one of them was 1999 before Y2K, I think,” joked Tyler.
While for some lacking a mobile phone, others came to enjoy free from shutdown from the world for a while.
Fletcher Lord from Little -Rock reported his wife after he arrived at about 6am and reminded her that he did not expect to hear from him all day. He then went on to enjoy a few treats on the sunny, 70-degree day against the background of a serene, flowering azalea and high pines.
“Once you overcome the anxiety without having a phone, it’s a very free feeling because it makes you just be here at the moment,” Lord said.
O’Connar agreed.
He called one of his old high school friends to find out if he would pick up. He did.
“He obviously did not recognize the number, but when he saw that the Augustus of Augustus, he said I better pick up this,” O’Conar said.
Then it was to enjoy the day.
“Is there no phone phone?” said O’Connar. “No, I think it’s really good for me. These emails will be there when I get home.”
