Playfulness. Innovation. Fearlessness.

What started as a seemingly simple opportunity working at Augusta National Golf Club turned into a surprising cementing of a "secret Masters Tournament menu" tradition. While Tara was a student at the University of South Carolina studying Hospitality Management, she was hired for what most may view as a "under the radar" kind of role at the most prestigious of hospitable experiences in sports - a beverage stand attendant at the 12th concessions stand in Amen Corner. As the long-standing tradition goes, no cell-phones are allowed on the course, for patrons and employees alike. Therefore, imagination and collaboration became key to the mundane becoming the magic.

Alongside her concession stand-mates, she crafted the "Stand 12" - a now "must-do" of Masters Tournament patrons. A beautiful combination that creates an ombré effect that became a special secret, and included as "13 Things First Timers at The Masters Must Do" in a Callaway Golf article in 2013. Her innovoative mind & risk-taking idea will now live on for the ages.
