Augusta National Requests Area Schools Take Fall Break For Masters

The August National Golf Club has requested local schools "consider a fall break in November to accommodate a rescheduled Masters Tournament," according to Damon Cline of the AUGUSTA CHRONICLE. Club reps contacted leaders of Aiken County Public Schools about "adjusting the calendar for the tournament." Area schools historically have "timed their spring break to coincide with the annual tournament, which relies on thousands of area high school students as temporary workers as well as families leaving town on vacation to provide short-term home rentals to tournament patrons." The Richmond and Columbia county school systems said that they were "considering adjustments" to their '20-21 school calendars, which were "set prior to the coronavirus pandemic" that resulted in Augusta National postponing the tournament last month (AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, 4/10).
