That urban legend about airplanes not being allowed to fly over Augusta National Golf Club during the Masters Tournament is a myth. The plane towing the aerial billboard for an Atlanta strip club last week should have proved that.

Cheetah Lounge, an all-nude club in midtown Atlanta, flew its billboard all week along Washington Road. It was visible from inside the course.

Cheetah Lounge General Manager Jack Braglia said Saturday he was unsure whether the billboard, which is the same one the club flies near Atlanta Motor Speedway, had been used in Augusta before.

He said most Masters-related business comes from practice-round ticket-holders because business slows after tournament play begins Thursday.

"We always see a lot of people here during Masters, especially the heavy hitters," he said. "They'll stay in Atlanta and take a helicopter or limo to Augusta and then come back for the night."

He said Saturday was the last day the billboard was in the air.

"We're closed on Sunday," he said.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said there are no flight restrictions over Augusta National.

Bergen said the FAA can ban flights above sporting events, but those restrictions mostly pertain to air shows.
