Went with a friend on Sunday last year. Really great experience. Picture perfect even without the azaleas in bloom.

It should be on everyone's bucket list even if you aren't a golf fan. Get there early enough to set up your chairs on the 18th hole. Spend the rest of the day walking around taking it all in. Drink a lot of beer and water so you can keep the souvenir cups. They've held up real well to frequent use and washing.

Glad the elitists at Augusta National gave us common folk a brief moment to view their course.

Least favorite major by far but still watching.

How in the world do you enjoy The Masters so much less than the PGA?

Since the conversation has been started, here is my list:

1. The Open Championship (British Open)
2. The Masters
3. The Players (Yes, I’ll count it as a major)

(Slight gap here)

4. The U.S. Open
5. The PGA Championship

His sister posted on Twitter how his parents spent a bunch of money on his golf lessons (obviously, they're expensive) and gave up a lot of their time to support him and he's basically disowned them now. It's the family's word against his but it doesn't look good.

UGA for being a low life POS. Teammates unanimously hated him. Went to Augusta State where his new teammates unanimously hated him. He refuses to talk to his family and hasn't for years. Got them escorted out of a professional event once when he learned they were there. The list goes on and on. Just an all-around shithead.

I read the SI article about him and his wife and his family too. Regardless of what he did when he was 20 years old, he’s been killer for the US team. I loved watching him at the Ryder Cup in ‘16 at Hazeltine. Lifelong Mickelson fan, but now I’m all good with Reed, Fowler, Speith winning. Anyone but Justin Rose (complete cock at the Ryder Cup).

another birdie for Spieth. A great round will become a legendary round if he catches Reed and wins The Masters.

Watch out for Ricky Fowler, though---he's now only 2 back with enough holes left to make up the difference.

Absurd. Spieth can par out for a 63 and might win. Realistically he probably has to birdie 17 or 18 to have a chance. Reid still has birdie-able holes left.
