Money isn’t everything.

In a storyline straight out of Caddyshack 2, one family isn’t backing down. Augusta National has spent $200 million buying up property around the course for two decades, meaning some homeowners have become instant millionaires. One family refuses to sell their home.

The family has turned down seven-figure offers. They say money isn’t everything to them and that they don’t mind the crowds when the Masters rolls around every year.

“Steve Politi tracked down the Thacker family of 1112 Stanley Dr., a property adjacent to Gate 6-A and the only one that Augusta National’s money can’t buy.

Despite regular million-dollar offers from club officials, Herman and Elizabeth Thacker don’t want to leave their home.

“We really don’t want to go,” Elizabeth Thacker told NJ.com.

“Money ain’t everything,” her husband, Herman, added.”

The house is about 1,900 square feet, has three bedrooms, and sits on about two-thirds of an acre. It has an estimated value of $330,000, according to the real-estate database Zillow.

There definitely could be a movie made about this, or at the very least a documentary.

Reminds me of the houses around Lambeau.

At least the Masters is only held once a year…
