As much as I'd like to tell you to stay in Cartersville and go to Augusta for the Masters, it's about a 2-hour drive, so I can't. The BellSouth classic is in Duluth at SugarLoaf, which is 20-25 miles, and The Tour Championship is at East Lake in Atlanta which is right down the road, but those aren't majors, not really what you're asking.

I bought my Masters 4-day pass on ebay this year for a cool grand. I think you can just get them by calling the ticket office, or on pga.com if you get there before they sell out.
