I fantasize driving up Magnolia Lane with the fragrance of azalea's filling my 4-door Ford Fusion as I arrive from Atlanta where my Shockers competed on the ultimate stage known as the Final Four. Wait a minute, the second part isn't a fantasy!
This year's version of golf's favorite major (IMO) is expected to be as good as ever. The 93-man (with one exception I will address shortly) is led by the excitement of Tiger Woods regaining his world number one status after winning Arnies tournament a couple of weeks ago. Although the majority of the world seems to have forgiven Tiger of his personal indiscretions, this SN member hasn't. Winning doesn't take care of everything. Nineteen former champions grace the hallowed grounds of Augusta National. My personal favorite is Freddie Couples, who currently stands at -3 through 12. At 52 Freddie swings as well as he did 20 years ago when he won at Augusta. Lefty is struggling at +2 through 10, but still has amen corner to negotiate a comeback.
Potentially one of the most intriguing stories of the week is 14-year-old Tianlang Guan from China. He is the youngest participant in the almost 80 year history of the Masters. He is currently +1 playing the 14th hole.
There are so many great moments of the Masters. I welcome your favorite moments. One of my favorites includes Green Jacket winner Jack Nicklaus' win in 1986 at 46 years of age. Forty six, are you kidding me. How can we forget a key birdie at #16 when Jack stepped towards the hole with putter extended as the ball disappeared into the cup. Some of my greatest memories of golf's greatest championships are from the Masters. Let the memories begin!!!
