Augusta

Had the opportunity to see the last round of the Masters on Sunday thanks to my friend JMac, who came up with an extra badge. First time I have been since 1996, the last year Tiger missed the cut (I think). Here's what I noticed:

  • Obviously, the golf was spectacular. Was particularly impressed with anyone who could approach par in Sunday's conditions.
  • A lot of Yankees attend the Masters.
  • There was not a weed anywhere. The amateur gardener in me was blown away by the beauty of the place, although a little more variety in the landscape could have been a positive.
  • Most of those guys are true athletes. Guys like Boo Weekley and John Daly are becoming rarer and rarer.
That's all for now, but a neat afternoon.
