Augusta, GA.—Sniffling toward the Masters…If azaleas and dogwoods are your thing, this is your place, as always…if allergies are your thing, however, you need Augusta, Maine, instead…
Hot rumor of the week thus far: Tiger Woods is reportedly buying a portion of the Golf Channel…how much of it and for how much hasn’t leaked yet…Since it is located in Tiger’s backyard and remembering Arnold Palmer was behind the channel from its origin, this shouldn’t come as any great surprise…
About this global warming thing: I can recall what seems like hundreds of 90-plus degree days covering this event over the decades…It’s not supposed to get close to the mid-sixties here this weekend…
This Masters, as they all seem to, celebrates significant anniversaries—Gary Player’s 50th, the 20th year since Larry Mize chipped in to beat Greg Norman in the playoff, and it has been a decade since Tiger Woods won his first green jacket, establishing a scoring record that many this week have plainly said will never be broken…it is a far, far different Augusta National they face these days, tighter, longer, deeper, much tougher…last year, for instance, Davis Love III hit driver, wedge into 18…yesterday, he hit driver, six iron…what Tiger wrought…
I noticed on the HOFMAG site that Jim will be posting daily from the Masters. That’s great! I look forward to it….
