    Default The Masters 2018

    Just received the email from the Masters to say I was successful in getting tickets to the practice rounds for The Masters next year!
    I feel like I have won Lotto.
    I can't quite believe it.
    From memory someone on here went a few years ago?

    Nice one Steve. Congratulations. Yeah Vader77 won a ballot ticket last year too. From the stories from him, it sounds like everything it's cracked up to be and more and nothing like you'll ever experience again or have ever experienced in the past. Enjoy!

    Congratulations Steve and Nemo! A trip to the Masters is definitely on my bucket list.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    It's great to win.......something........but sorry, I will pour the cold water, after you go to the practice day, what then?

    Practice day tickets aren't that expensive to buy, getting there, staying there and going to other days is where the cost occurs.

    - the Tuesday in 2009 was so cold, many players including Tiger didn't play.....but I did get to follow Bobby Allenby for a few holes we didn't buy tickets for the weekend, we headed up to Pinehurst, hired a house with a big TV, played golf in the morning and watched in the arvo with a beer.

    Would you really go all the way to the US to watch a practice round?

    Absolutely! I'd rather go and see a practice round from what I've heard. Everything is just a bit more relaxed apparently. Besides, I'd be giving to see the golf course and surrounds. Sure I'd watch some golf but I'd want to make sure I did all the stuff that The Masters is famous for before prioritising watching the golf itself.

    That's why I'm getting a sandwich.

    And a sweet tea. In a cup.

    Maybe it's just me. If I am going to US for a golf trip I am going when the weather is premo in Bandon, and I certainly wouldn't change it for a practice round at the masters, though I probably would for an actual round.

    Then again the Masters is the one major I would take or leave, so there is that.

    Either way, have fun Steve and Nemo.
