The Masters

[Ramlock]

The Masters is this week.

I predict that something incredible will happen....always does.

Love the Masters.
And yes, something incredible always seems to happen. Would love to go there someday, but that "someday" seems to get further and further away than it is getting closer....

I've been once.
2008

Augusta National offers a ticket lottery for both Practice Rounds and for Tournament Rounds, so I signed up for the ticket lottery. I renew every year but have only had the opportunity the one time.

Had the opportunity for 4 tickets on the Tuesday practice round and took my wife and son and cousin from Atlanta.

The grounds and golf course are fantastic. Very hilly.

My cousin gets 4 tix every year and has offered them to me many times. But every year I say maybe next year.

I refer you to the photographs in the previous posts...Augusta National is the most awesome stadium/playing field in all of sports.

It is an incredible place.

Especially if you like azaleas, dogwoods and pines.

You should be there this year!

I like Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott.

Did you see Jack Nicklaus' grandson just smashed in a hole in one during the par three tournament? Magical shot.

How does he get 4 tickets every year?

as far as I know she won some sort of lottery about 15 years ago and has the opportunity to buy them every year now. If she doesn't buy them then they have to enter the lottery again, or something like that.... last time we talked about it was at a wedding and someone asked the same question and I just kind of zoned out during the reply.


My sister and brother in law are there this year, along with my cousin and her husband.

My father in law used to have tickets. I was offered them one year and couldn't go. He has since passed away and so went the tickets too. That's about the only way you can get them it seems. This lottery thing just started in the past few years.

 

[dieterbrock]

There was a time that the practice rounds were the secret jewel at Augusta. You could buy those tickets and they were reasonably priced. Then Tiger came along and made golf cool and so went the "bargain"
Speaking of bargains, the Masters always takes care of its patrons with the most reasonably priced food in any event

Tomorrow looks like another epic.

Patrick Reed is so hard to beat in a match play scenario...the guy thrives on making it personal.

McIlroy has a chance at being an historic figure in golf.

Does Fowler, Rahm or Stenson make a run?

Those 5 have a chance.

Fun day to watch today.

Looking like a 2 man race. Don’t see Reed backing up. Can Reed be the first to have 4 rounds in the 60’s? Is 18 under in jeopardy??

 

[HX76]

I've got five of my English pounds on Tommy FLEETWOOD to win at 50/1. Highly unlikely but it would be nice if he has a good round at least.

 

[RhodyRams]

don't count out my boy Ricky Fowler... he has a good chance to go low on Sunday

 

[RhodyRams]

Here comes Spieth

-7 today and 2 off the lead.

Casey was a big mover today also..had a chance at tourney record -10 for the final round, but bogeyed last 2 holes

He stayed out front and got it done

Some stellar golf like always!

 

[T-REX]

I put some ROD bucks on Fowler, just came up short.

 

[dieterbrock]

Always a great finish at Augusta
