Weekend at The Masters


A good friend called me on the Wednesday before The Masters and asked if I wanted to go to the tournament.  "When do we leave? was the response he got!

We were the guests of Mercedes-Benz and they showered us with attention and world class treatment.  It was a privilege to get to see this golf tournament in that manner.

My objective was to take-in the Augusta National Golf Course - I've seen most of the players during the Ryder Cup and PGA tournaments here in Louisville.  Augusta National is a stunning golf course.  Since cameras and cellphones are not allowed on the course, I needed to kind of "burn-in some mental pictures of Hogan's Bridge and the 13th green (which is posted above).  You might imagine that nether television nor photos do the course justice.

So that's a Bucket List item checked off in a way beyond my dreams.  So now, for golf, playing St Andrews is the remaining item on my list.
