My brother-in-law'...I almost felt like I was there! <BR/><BR/>My brother-in-law's college roomate is from there, and his family belongs to Augusta, so he has been able to go a few times, the lucky dog. <BR/><BR/>I'd go just for the $2.00 beers. Wow. I think they were at least $6.50 or so when the U.S. Open was held at Olympia Fields here in Chicagoland a few years ago. <BR/><BR/>My golf league starts in six weeks. I can't wait.Peggasushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430376275956260855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-1142205057757741132006-03-12T17:10:00.000-06:002006-03-12T17:10:00.000-06:00I can't yet begin to express my gratitude for the ...I can't yet begin to express my gratitude for the chance to go to Augusta this year. I've been on the outside looking in for many years and need to thank Senor Knuck L. Head for giving up his spot, our mutual buddy for procuring one of the family tickets for me, and our friend the DogDoc for brokering the deal. I'll try to put my impressions into bytes when I get back.<BR/><BR/>As a matter of fact, I think I'll post the sad story of what I was doing last year when Tiger chipped in on 16. It's yet another sad story of business luxury travel gone horribly wrong.ceeelceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073380132708934016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-1142022546792181292006-03-10T14:29:00.000-06:002006-03-10T14:29:00.000-06:00I don't get golf, but I get the love of a maddenin...I don't get golf, but I get the love of a maddening game played on a deep green field in the summertime and the passion that can only come from watching the best do their thing live. (I'm a baseball nut myself.) <BR/><BR/>Nice writing.bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257980437758725837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-1142020632352684752006-03-10T13:57:00.000-06:002006-03-10T13:57:00.000-06:00I cannot stress to you how perfectly you've nailed...I cannot stress to you how perfectly you've nailed it. Bravo! I lived in Augusta for 30 years and have had the honor of going to the Tournament a half dozen times. I am not a golfer but I appreciate and respect the sport. <BR/><BR/>I have described the National to people for years now as "heaven on earth." Walking onto that course gives me a peace that I've rarely known. <BR/><BR/>Your descriptions of #10 and the roars of the galleries is dead on. That sound is as exhilarating as anything in sports. Don't know if you were there in '87, but the sound of the gallery when Mize chipped in for the win was as chilling as the shot itself.<BR/><BR/>You've made me homesick today.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120467534816877198noreply@blogger.com
