Whenever I hear someone locally is serving Pimento Cheese Sandwiches, it brings about a nervous excitement. It can normally only mean one thing - it’s Masters week.
I’ve always wanted to Augusta, Georgia, so when I can get a hint of Augusta without having to leave home, I’m more than willing to go out of my way. One such place happens to be down in Morris, IL, a quant town not too far from Chicago, that also happens to be the host for ChitShow 5, for those Lambers out there.
Patrick Keegan took his years of experience, with some of the top fashion and golf fashion brands in the world, and has brought to life a brand that combines style and comfort you can take to the course, the office, or a nice dinner. From Tux fittings to an in house barber by appointment, Patrick has quickly developed a place the community can not only come to look good, but with a tap and bar, also created a fun place the community can come together.
For the Masters this year, the team at Field Day Social, went all out. They worked with local catering company Nan’s Catering, to bring box lunches based on the concession stands in Augusta - Pimento Cheese sandwiches, Egg salad sandwiches, fruit cup, chips and a cookie. At the bar, local tappers of different brews, and the Azalea, the legendary Augusta National Clubhouse beverage.
The store looked amazing and was abuzz with people putting on Big Moss practice putting greens, rolling local putter company Bettinardi putters, and enjoying a great kick off to the weekend. With TV’s everywhere you turned, to the famous gnomes, sold only at the Masters, on different display tables, it was hard to mistake what was going on.
If you’re local and looking for a place to hang to watch the final round today, I’d definitely recommend dropping by. If you’re outside of the area, take a look at their webstore and buy yourself a t-shirt. You won’t be disappointed. Shopping local is always more fun, and places like Field Day Social, are perfect examples of what makes shopping within the community, so much fun.

I snapped a few pics while I was there, but can tell you, they don’t do the store justice. The place was jumping, and I didn’t want to get in the way, but hope you can get a feel for why the shop is so special.
