Live from the Masters

Really!
 
I have been attending the Masters since 2005 and this one was by far the most thrilling.  Even without a playoff or dark horse champion, there were moments that won’t be forgotten.  I cannot recall more impressive shots made in any major tournament in the last 20 years.  From hole in ones, to back to back eagles, Augusta National had all the right ingredients for a spectacular sporting event
 
“Really!”, seems like the fitting word for the entire weekend.
 
Phil Mickelson hitting a golf ball in the rough through the trees, clearing Ray’s creek by only 2 feet and landing the ball 4 feet from the pin….”Really!”
 
Tom Watson at 60 years young going low on his first round to be a top the leader board and finishing under par for the championship….”Really!”
 
Tiger Woods make a statement at his press conference Monday about controlling his “emotions” which lasted for the first 2 holes and then he let f-bombs fly like he was performing a skit on Eddie Murphy’s Raw (the TV only caught a few moments…there were a lot more)….”Really”!
 
Freddy Couples at 50 years old, a member of the senior tour, with a bad back and has played only a hand full of tournaments this year, nearly finding a green jacket on his shoulder for the 2nd time….”Really!”
 
If you have never been inside the gates of Augusta National on the 2nd week of April, then last week’s spectacular show should tell you, that you REALLY have to go.  
 
Can’t wait till next year!!
