I used to go to the Tuesday practice round every year before they started the lottery system for tickets. Awesome golf course. The elevation changes are enormous and it's hard to grasp that on TV.
A tournament like no other...

My favorite sporting event. I block out these four days on my calendar every year.
Gotta go to the dentist this afternoon and will miss a couple of hours. Otherwise, I'll be there on the couch. There is nothing quite like The Masters.

I've been to two practice rounds and was truly blown away by how much more beautiful it is in person, how clean the grounds are, how respectful the patrons are, and yes, the elevation changes. Hole 10 could be a beginner ski slope!
I was there in '97 and saw Tiger going through his paces to ultimately win his first Masters and again in '99. A couple of years later I was chosen in the lottery for the third time but I gave my tickets to a couple of friends; all three of my lottery 'wins' were Tuesday practice rounds. I quit playing golf cold turkey about 15 years ago (3 handicap) and really stopped watching golf but I do watch The Masters every year.

YES SIR!!!
Always a lot of fun to watch the Masters... along with The Open Championship, it's my favorite tournament of the year! I was truly blessed to be able to go one year... a thrill of a lifetime for me!
