My year just got made!!

[albatross]

My father called and has two badges to the Masters this year. I've been before but this year is the most exciting for some reason. I don't have many people that I work with who golf, so I had to tell someone who understands how cool this is.

I'm trying to convince my wife how hard these tickets are to get but because I've been before, she's keeps saying "They can't be that hard to get". She just doesn't get it. I keep telling her it's a third in a lifetime opportunity. It doesn't roll off the tongue quite like once in a lifetime.

I figure she'll get over it. It is time spent with my dad and if there was ever anything worth having your wife mad at you, this would be it.

That's incredible. I am so jealous.

Good deal.....have fun! I will enjoy being at the course for the practice rounds but will watch the tourny on my HD!

Take it from a local.....they aren't that easy to come by.....and yes...that time with your father at golf's greatest venue is priceless.

"You may have many wives in your life....but only one father".....I once read somewhere.


I was able to take my father to our first practice round together in 1999 when we first moved down here. It was unreal. The day was simply magical and pictures of the day are in many rooms of my house.

Enjoy your trip.

If your wife is going to get mad at you for spending time with your dad......she needs to get some marriage counseling. And I don't usually say these type of things randomly.

I sincerely hope that you and your dad have a GREAT time. It's absolutely something that never gets old to a golf fan. Even if it were your 20th time.....

I agree on that score. I am envious (not the wife being mad part

). I hope you have a lot of fun and maybe you'll report a little here on you experience at Augusta.
