The Masters has strict rules not seen anywhere else in sports. Here are the things that can get you thrown out or even arrested.

This week the golf world's attention will once again turn to Augusta National, as the best players in the world compete in the Masters tournament.

The Masters is a tournament of tradition — caddies are still made to wear their all-white overalls while walking the course, and fans that have traveled to Augusta National to take in the tournament are referred to as "patrons."

Still, there are even more arcane rules at Augusta National, all the way down to what patrons can bring on to the grounds.

Below you can check out a list of all the items that will get you stopped by security at the Masters before you even take the course, according to the tournament's official website.

Fans looking to post Instagram selfies with their favorite golfers at the Masters will have to find another way to share their content, as Augusta National forbids any phones.

While there are plenty of signs to help patrons find their way around the course, meeting up with friends if you get separated could prove difficult without communication.

For fans who need to reach someone off the course, payphones are available.

Not allowing big bags has become a somewhat standard practice at many sporting events of late, but still, taking in hours and hours of golf and walking the course without a sizable pack could prove frustrating for some.

According to the Masters site, bags must be smaller than 10" x 10" x 12" to be allowed on premises.

Proving how old school the Masters is, the tournament still has rules on the books regarding the use of beepers.

So yeah, doctors better leave their pagers at home, as most others have for the past 15 years.

That said, the rules have been updated to say that fitness bands and smart watches are allowed, but "the use of such devices for phone calls, emails, text messaging and other photo, video or data recording and/or transmission is prohibited."

Cameras are allowed on the course at Augusta National only during the practice rounds before the start of the official tournament.

With so many fantastic views and sites to capture at Augusta National, it makes sense that fans looking to take home some memories on film would get to the tournament a day early to take advantage.

All week through the tournament, patrons can have their photo taken at Founders Circle, one of the iconic spots near the clubhouse. The pictures are made available to patrons for free, so they can be secured later once people have recovered their phones of the grounds.

While apparently there was a time, as the above picture shows, that bringing guns on golf courses was a thing that happened, Augusta National has a strict policy against weapons of any kind. Regardless of your permit, you won't be allowed onto the course armed.

It should also come as no surprise that Augusta National would prefer fans don't bring alcohol onto their pristine course. Thankfully, beers are reasonably priced, so golf fans can still enjoy a brew while taking in the action.

Similarly, the Masters does not want patrons walking the grounds with coolers filled with drinks. Again, there's plenty of reasonably priced food and beverages available, so planning a Masters tailgate may be unnecessary.

While fans at some golf tournaments have been encouraged to be rowdier of late, the Masters is as traditional as they come, with flags and signs banned.

While Augusta National permits chairs, which are necessary for anyone hoping to watch up close at one of the greens for the majority of the day, it's vital that patrons have the right type of seat.

"Chairs/Seats with pointed ends, Folding armchairs and Rigid type chairs" are not allowed, according to the site.

The safest way to get a seat is to buy one from the Pro Shop at Augusta National to ensure it passes all inspections. These seats are extremely popular, cost $30, and give you a great souvenir after the tournament.

The people who run the Masters want to make sure everyone has a fair shot at the views offered at Augusta National, so selfie sticks and ladders are out of the question.

If you want to be able to see a part of the golf course without jumping over the crowds, it's probably best to arrive early.

It's probably for the best that any and all electronics of yours are left at home if you're planning on attending the Masters.

If you need to keep up with something happening off the course, your best bet will be to make use of the phone bank.

While there is no age restriction on the course, it's best to use your head when planning on bringing children along to the Masters.

Strollers are not allowed, meaning that should you bring a young child, you'll be holding them for a large amount of the day. Also, every patron on the course must have a badge, regardless of how young they are.

While you'll see rules officials walking the course with walkie-talkies, fans watching from the sidelines are forbidden from having them, just in case you thought you had found a workaround on the course's phone ban.

This may be obvious, but don't even think about taking something from the course, even a cup of sand.

In 2012, a patron decided to collect some sand in a beer cup as a souvenir. He was arrested and later recounted how the incident cost him approximately $20,000 and left him depressed.
