Teddy. I get that it's not about standing all day and straining to see a small bit of a single round. I guess the novelty of wanting to be near history has worn off. I've never been what Mick Jagger famously called a ''star f***r, but now even meeting stars has little to no appeal to me.
I too, don't care about meeting stars. That's why I didn't mention that.
You don’t go for just golf lol. You go for cheap beer, cheap food, the pro shop, then sit in amen corner with your sunglasses on checking out all the talent.
teddy. events like The Masters are about two things, actually watching golf, or star f....g.
Being where the action is, etc, etc, call it what you will. I just don't have that desire.
No, it's not just about those two things.
You are correct and as usual he is blabbering to himself
Reminds me of Steve Martin's classic "Grandmother's Song."
Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant
Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
***Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about***
Be oblong and have your knees removed...
I've gone to a couple practice rounds in the past just to see the course like you. said. Have had to point out many times that you can do lots of things to a course if the money is there to do it. Most golfers have no idea what it takes to keep a course in good condition even though they may play quite a bit. Have passed up free tickets in the past for tournament rounds.
Got asked spur of moment who my pick was. Radio guy in town asked while was coming out of the local Mexican restaurant earlier tonight. I went with Rory. Told my wife that may be on the radio in the morning
Well I should have read farther before my post. But I'll stick with it anyway
Definitely on my bucket list. Good lord willing maybe next year for a day or two. How much are tickets for practice rounds ?
Teddy..sure it is.
Dawg1419. I hope your mother had other children...for her sake.
Who was that a-hole on here yesterday claiming going to The Masters would just be some ego trip ?
Yep, it was this here dipchit. Sometimes I get in a mood and post things I don't really believe. Truth is I wouldn't turn down a pair of tickets, preferably for Sunday, but Thursday would be fine. Life is about experiences, a day at The Masters would leave an indelible memory.
I wonder if they pipe in that recorded bird chirp to the gallery ?
Look...if you aren't from Augusta...there's no amount of explaining we can do. I'm not a golfer, not a golf person, but I'm born and raised in Augusta and I watch golf two weekends a year. masters week and us open. That should tell you something.
Every year I wanna go back (bc my mom still gets 2 every year) and for some reason it slips my mind and I miss another year
Kasey. I watch The Masters every year, what gave you the impression I don't ?
My comments from last night were about watching in person, high cost, very limited view, standing all day, etc. Besides, go back and read my post in this thread from this morning.
Sure did and she would kick your arse also🤣
