April 6th - The MASTER'S...
Best spectator sport to attend, EVER – the MASTER’S and it started today. I am all in this year, more than ever, for some reason. It has been delivering thus far this opening day.
Having been so fortunate to attend it in 2011, solidified my passion for it. I remember dad talking about how great it was after his first time… better than Superbowls, World Series, Stanley Cup, Final Four… stating it was hands down the BEST. I didn’t believe him, until I walked through those doors in Augusta, GA. Everything people speak of and then some, it was magical, if you appreciate bucket list sporting events.
My son and I had 2 days. Our strategy was to follow one group for the entire 18, then pick a tee, a green to hang out at for a while. The second day, pick strategic spots and watch all groups pass through them. We flew home Sunday morning and went straight to dads to watch the last round with him, now knowing exactly what the holes look like in person. TV does not do them justice, the elevations, breaks, slopes, and openness of the course.
Few things allow me to quiet my mind and bring me in the moment. Golf can be one. From the early years of walking with my dad at a charity tournament, a best ball at a business event and a lazy Sunday afternoon of a competitive major – I find myself, enjoyment, in the moment.
The higher the stakes, the greater the passion.
Hmmm, like no other event…day 246!
Thank you if you choose to join the journey. Let's hope it is more fun than tears!
