In Georgia, an old-fashioned custom keeps one of the country’s most beloved golf tournaments connected to its past. They call to offer up weather reports, food reviews, golf commentaries, celebrity sightings, souvenir spending confessions, legal advice and trips down memory lane. Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia has long forbidden cellphones for almost anyone inside its gates for the Masters Tournament, which is scheduled to conclude Sunday. “Dad, it’s Ali,” Ali Daschbach began this past week. She paused, a shared moment of anticipation stretching from a phone near the 17th green in east Georgia to Washington State.
