A security guard confiscates a cell phone from a spectator at the No. 15 green Tuesday.
Rules prohibit fans from taking certain items on the course.
The security offices at the front and back gates of Augusta National Golf Club might be the busiest places at the course, especially after the golfers finish their rounds. Some Masters Tournament spectators can't get totally free of the office, and bring cellular phones to the course to conduct business, though the devices are prohibited by Augusta National. Other fans sneak on the course with cameras, which are allowed only during the three days of practice rounds. But the fans don't keep their contraband for long. Every day, Pinkerton security guards confiscate hundreds of cellular phones and dozens of cameras from fans who are either unaware of the rules or ignore them.
