Newest Masters gnome item includes twin salt and pepper shakers
Another year, another family addition.
For the second straight April, the Masters golf shop has added a sibling to its popular gnome collection: this time, twins.
Boxed as salt and pepper shakers, the newest item — sold for $38 — hit shelves Monday morning to the surprise of patrons.
“I had no idea they were doing this,” said Mallory Terry, who attended for the fifth year. “Look how cute these are.”
In 2016, the Masters introduced its first gnome — a miniature bearded man in an argyle sweater. Since then, the floodgates have opened.
Four years ago, the miniature gnome was added, while last April birthed the $30 Christmas ornament.
Now, the family has its first set of duplicates.
“These are going to sell quick,” said Timothy Adams, who arrived at the golf shop at 8:15 a.m. “My wife will love these.”
The salt and pepper shakers made their debut on Monday, and were not for sale at Saturday’s Augusta National Women’s Amateur or the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals on Sunday.
