We did left before it ended. Should have stayed to witness history in the making. Single most exciting sporting event I have ever attended. I thought Tiger was the best ever? Second best.

willland Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) For those of you who can see on TV how beautiful Augusta National is, in person with the smell of the tall pines and dogwoods and the greenest grass south of Kentucky bluegrass, it is about as close to heaven as you can get on earth. A very surreal experience. With Nicklaus winning in 86 made it that much more of an experience.

jimjimbo Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Attending the Masters is absolutely at the pinnacle of my list. The whole aura of the club, how the course is cared for, and so many other things that the public probably doesn't even know, at least to me just lends to the status of this tournament as the top tier.

ZEUS121996 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Mr. Nicklaus didn't win in a playoff, Norman lost to Larry Mize in a playoff in 87 when Mize holed out from off the green Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole aura of the club, how the course is cared for, and so many other things that the public probably doesn't even know, at least to me just lends to the status of this tournament as the top tier. I went with my best friend that I have known since we were 5(46 years and counting) and his father who has had a lifetime pass since forever. About 15 years or so ago my friend(Jim) was chosen to have his name entered into a lottery because he was the son of a ticket holder and what do you know, his name was one of chosen ones to receive lifetime passes. A few years later Jim called me up on a Thursday and asked if I wanted to meet him in Augusta to watch the Saturday and Sunday rounds. I was really bummed because I already had plans that weekend. He needs to give me a little more notice next time. . Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely can't remember what was "so important" that I could not go the The Masters. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess after 29.98 years my memory has failed some. Bill And I happen to be SLIGHTLY OCD when it comes to golf, for whatever the reason, I can almost list all the winners back to about 1950. Who can give me the year this book was published in a limited run of around 250 copies? Augusta doesn't release total #s printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son in law and I went up, watched the clinic that the 4 of them put on before they played 18 holes. Really hot and humid that day.....Arnie was not tolerating the heat very well, but he soldiered on through the round, and rode in a cart most of the way. Watson and Nicklaus were super nice, and Tom played great. Johnny Miller acted like exactly the jerk that I though he was.....We were standing just behind the green, almost exactly in line with Jack's putt. Never forget it....

Seadog Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 There are only a handful of moments that I can say exactly where I was at the time. Jack's '86 Master's win is one of those (sitting in the clubhouse of Squaw Creek Golf Club near Fort Worth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen that in the news a while back, I thought it was just perfect the way the whole thing went down, it couldn't have gone better.

ZEUS121996 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I don't think it will happen unless the wind is up again today, but it would be F*CKING AWESOME if Bernhard could pull this off at 58 years old.

Turn the fans on high in Augusta! Mark I agree, and I will be pulling for him. My prediction though is for Jordan to run away with it. He made a bunch of mistakes yesterday, and I'd bet he spent a lot of time on the range last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
