Lovable teddy bear/phenom Tom Kim is one of the most exciting Masters debutants in years. Like any newcomer, however, the two-time PGA Tour winner has a lot to learn about the eccentricities of Augusta National. While the undulating greens and off-camber lies will demand much of his attention, on Wednesday he began his crash course at one of ANGCs less-threatening landmarks: The concession stand.

That’s quite the spread. For those of you keeping score at home, Kim walked away with the recently revived Georgia peach ice cream sandwich (don’t call it a comeback!), a white chocolate Georgia pecan cookie, the egg salad and, of course, the granddaddy of them all, the pimento cheese sando, all for just over $12. He did make one rookie mistake though: He tried to pay cash (the Masters is a cashless event) and had to be bailed out by a friendly security guard.
But hey, your first Masters is a learning experience. You gotta learn the ropes before you’re comfortable inside them. This is all part of the process. Just go easy on those sweets, TK.
