Not all the Masters Week numbers were on the leaderboard.

Richmond County Sheriff's Col. Gary Powell said the week ended with 23 ticket-scalping arrests, 37 seized Masters badges and more than 100 warnings -- most of them made during the practice rounds.

"We arrested more (people) this year, but they had less tickets on them," Col. Powell said Monday. "Whereas last year everybody arrested had more than one ticket on them."

Last year, deputies seized 43 tickets and arrested six people who were selling too close to Augusta National Golf Club, he said.

Not numbered in those arrests were charges Sunday against a Utah man who jumped into a sand bunker near the 17th green, stretched on his back and began to make "snow angels" with his arms.

Steven Davis, 34, of Salt Lake City, was charged with disorderly conduct.

Col. Powell said another visitor was charged when a deputy found marijuana in a lost camera bag.

"They asked him if everything in the bag was his, including the marijuana," Col. Powell said.

As with last year, all ticket-scalping arrests occurred during the Monday-Wednesday practice rounds. Col. Powell said police cracked down on scalpers during the first three days and saw no one selling them during the four-day tournament. State law prohibits anyone from selling tickets within 2,700 feet of the course.

"During the tournament we hardly ever have a problem with them," he said.

The cost to the city for holding the tournament also does not seem to be a problem.

"We don't track it," City Administrator Fred Russell said Monday. The city's expenditures in preparing for Masters Week aren't broken out separately in the budget.

"It's just something that we've always done, and something we're always gonna do," he said.

Mr. Russell said that the maintenance the city does the week before the tournament would be done anyway and that workers involved in street cleanup and landscaping also would be on the clock. The same goes for the events staff at the Mayor's Masters Reception.

Sheriff's deputies who provide security are off duty and are paid by Augusta National. Sheriff Ronnie Strength said those who are on city time, such as Col. Gary Powell and deputies directing traffic, would be working regardless.

"If there's any overtime worked, the Augusta National pays for it," Sheriff Strength said.
