The “pay” phones are free.

Yesterday during the first round, Damon Hack rattled off the names of several well known pros he observed from other sports. I guess they were very fortunate playing the ticket lottery.

6) no branded gear. If you show up with Branded gear you won’t be allowed in. Masters is the only tournament where you won’t find any advertising.


Hmmm we are confused. Isn’t hats and clothes etc with Nike swoosh annd andidas and other brand stuff …. Branded.

Ken Griffey, Jr is at The Masters, as a Credentialed Photographer.

A lot of the celebrities you see over the weekend, will get to play the course on Monday.

Also, the big MAM (Monday After The Masters) tournament, is at the Dye Club at the Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach, on Monday. It's a charity Pro-Am, hosted by Hootie & the Blowfish.

If you're looking for someone to root for this weekend, Matt McCarty would be a good choice.

Making a Name for Himself

Justin Rose is atop the Leaderboard this morning and he's a great guy and one of the best liked players on the Tour.

Of course, both of the above are likely to finish behind Corey Connors, who's the only PGA Tour player in 15 years, to win a tournament after Monday Qualifying.

Unfortunately, neither myself nor Rickie Fowler were invited to play in The Masters this year. We are both disappointed.

Yikes, what a Final Round!!! Like a storybook.

Actually IMO that was the best Final round of a Masters, if not any Major, definitely in my lifetime.

Way to go Rory!

What an unbelievable roller coaster round. I was pulling for the young Swedish guy, who has an extremely bright future (Ludvid Aberg, the smiling assassin). Unfortunately, he came up short, but Rory preserved through 4 double bogeys and pulled it out with a couple of unbelievable clutch shots down the stretch. The Masters and the Ryder Cup are definitely my favorite viewing golf events. Congratulations to Rory on winning the career grand slam.

That finish was pro golf at its best.
Well done Rory. You did it the hard way!
