The Masters, even a rainy one, is almost always a great lead-in to another golf season. Though early this year, the ensuing mild weather has more than one golfer wondering if we shouldn’t use the Masters instead of that over-sized rodent up in
Punxsutawney to predict golf weather.
I really enjoyed another dramatic ending this time between Angel and Adam hitting great shots on many holes especially the 18th to end regulation, then again on the 18th, and finally the dramatic finish on the 10th. Wow! Maybe they need to think about installing lights around the 10th green for future playoffs.
Someone asked me why I get so excited about watching golf. I replied that one time several summers back I hit a shot just like that. Never mind, it was the only decent shot I hit that round or maybe all summer. It’s just that if only for one brief moment, I knew that I hit a great shot!
Now, I’ll never be able to throw a long pass down field like Michael Vick, pitch a fast ball like Cliff Lee, or ace a point off of Roger Federer, but some day, some where, when I least expect it – I will hit a golf shot as good as Adam Scott does. That’s what makes this game unique and what’s even more special to me is that you can too!
So, here’s how to get into next year’s Masters. Just play the best four rounds at the USGA Amateur later this year, you will get your own personally engraved invitation to next year’s Masters. It’s that simple. Are you ready to get started? Okay, maybe that might be a little quick, but you can make a plan to play better golf this summer.
Looking forward to seeing you on the green.
