Gearing up for the Masters
As usual, I am extremely excited for the Masters. I attend every year, but it never gets old. The Masters is generally the highlight of my year.
And this year is no different. All speculation was confirmed last week when Tiger Woods announced that he would make his return to golf with the Masters. Tiger made a good choice. There is no better tournament to return to than the Masters.
The Masters is the most controlled and respected golf tournament in the world. People at the Masters do not leave (much) trash behind, they do not run (generally), and they are the quietest crowds you will experience. There is a level of respect at the Masters, for the course and for the golfers, that is not present at any other major or tournament.
Some people misinterpret this respect to be fear. Fear of having your tickets revoked for life. Fear of being removed from the course. I recently read an article in the local newspaper that said that Tiger would be safe due to the fear of the spectators. It isn’t fear that will keep Tiger safe. It’s respect.
Tiger will be very safe at the Masters. The media is controlled extensively and the atmosphere is such that any disrespectful patrons will quickly be hushed or escorted off of the grounds immediately. It is the best place for Tiger to return to.
On another note, I’m generally excited to attend the Masters again this year. I look forward to seeing Augusta again, as it is one of my favorite places to visit. Aside from the tournament, it is a wonderful and conservative town. The town has a large sense of community and a huge focus on the game of golf. I can’t wait to return.
I’ll be rooting for Phil!
Yes, The Masters is the best managed event in the world. The Augusta National leadership misses no detail. The event is a pleasure for fans, community and players alike. Its going to be another banner year and yes I’m pulling for Phil!
Boy, you really need a life. LOL
Hey old man, I have a life.
