It's finally here....Springtime is upon us....temperatures have been great....the itch to play golf is great.....it's time for the "Grandaddy", The Masters.
After weeks of preparation and polls, we bloggers have voted Camillo Villegas as the favorite to win, a tie between Jack Nicklaus and Fred Couples for our all time favorite Masters winner, and the likelihood most of us would shoot above 100 at Augusta.
This tournament was conceived by Bobby Jones and Cliff Roberts. It was an opportunity to have a "Gentleman's" golf tourney to celebrate the pro golfer and upper crust society. There was and still is a vision of decorum at Augusta. The crowds are respectful. The clubhouse and course are immaculate. The caddies are required to wear a uniform and no shorts. The winning of the green jacket is actually bigger than the trophy handed out.
This year we have multiple questions to add to the dramatics.....Will Tiger play well?.....Will Ernie Els continue to play well?........Can Fred Couples transfer his hot Seniors year over to one of the "Majors"?......Who's the Europeans' best chance to win?
If I was a pro golfer and could pick only 1 major to win, it would be The Masters.
I will watch as much as possible this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm even more than ever looking forward to TOTW Golf Classic on May 8th
