The Masters

I took in the final practice round of the Masters in Augusta today. TV doesn't do justice to how far those pro's can hit a golf ball. Tiger looked great but Phil Mickleson struggled all day. Great day of golf but damn was it hot down there in Georgia.

 

My brother is there. He texted me one word: Awesome.

 

How bad was the pollen?

 

Yeah it's something seeing these guys in person. I love the access too, can't wait for Quail Hollow!

 

I've been there about a half dozen times and it's a wonder to see. The greenest grass on earth and TV, even in HD can't show how incredible the experience is. Years ago you could just show up Monday-Wednesday but now you must get in a lottery. I made it to a weekend round once because I told them I was Tiger's caucasian brother.

 

It was unbelievable. Every time a breeze would blow a cloud of yellow would come with it. When we left every car in the parking lot was solid yellow.

 

He didn't text from the course. They won't let you take a cell phone past the entrance gates. That sucked. I wanted to text everyone when I was standing under the big Masters board.

 

I pretty much figured that with all the pine trees there. I'm hoping it storms tonight after play finishes, and washes some of it out of there.

 

I was there Monday and have never seen pollen storms before.... pollen bowl.

 

I drove through Columbia on Monday and it was a yellow haze. I thought there was a fire somewhere in the distance that was causing it until I realized it was the pollen pouring off the trees. Crazy.
