2007 Masters


I had a trip to Atlanta last week, so I missed this year's Masters by one week. Nevertheless I have been glued to the TV since Thursday's opening round; trying to catch all of the action and reliving the wonderful experience we had last year.

I keep looking at all the spots that we spent time at; especially Amen Corner, where we sat for over 3 hours watching the groups come through. It looks like the course is playing a lot tougher this year, and the weather is certainly a lot colder.

I can't say who I am cheering for. Maybe I am cheering for the course. A lot of media were saying that "the course" was the winner, as very few golfers were breaking par. Tougher conditions, cooler weather and strong winds make a tough course even tougher.

I have been asked numerous times this week about the Masters, because it was known that we went last year. That has just brought back some pretty good memories and a desire to go back at least one more time.
