I have a friend that usually does security at the Masters. I am fairly certain that he has the Tiger, JT, and Couples practice round.

No but it’s weird. There aren’t even really insects. No bees. No chipmunks. Birds. Nothing.

Anyone want a 1/4 zip shipped at cost? Damn girl gave me XL instead of L.

It is grey.

Exchanges are annoyingly by mail only.

That is weird actually. I’ve sadly never been there. But ‘no’ fauna at a golf course in Georgia? Almost Stephen King like......

Oh man I thought you wanted my 1/4 zip. 🙂

Whoa...I didn’t see that. Is it solid gray with the neon zip? Nothing else on it?

[iacas]

Kinda solid?

Thin stripes.

Sold. Sorry for slightly abusing my privs as admin. @Vinsk is the lucky winner.

FYI: the Masters official Instagram account is doing Stories. 

For those not familiar w/Stories, it's videos and photos not part of the regular feed and they disappear in a day. Right now, there's a lot of video on the merchandise tent and photos of the course and patron tips. You can download them before they disappear using third party services but it's a hassle.

FYI.  It seems to be available on YouTube now.

Thanks. It's not even HD, though, eh?

That’s so cool Erik! I can’t wait to do that myself. Hoping for 2020 or 2021 so I can arrange the trip appropriately. Did you get some goosebumps when you first got there? I bet when you got to 18 (first hole for you yes?) it was just a feeling only die hard golfers can relate to. Just awesome!

Here's the thing… I'm not easily impressed. I've talked to a number of very famous people, or had meals with them. I've been to some pretty cool places.

I wasn't awed by the elevation changes. I know what TV does to a course, having spent a LOT of time at Muirfield Village and/or Oakmont, for example.

The bunkers - their depth - were the only real thing that impressed me.

The rest I either knew or had read about or wasn't surprised by.

I don't wanna sound like a downer. I'm just not an easily impressed kind of guy.

I remember standing by the fairway bunkers on 18, and being blown away remembering the shot Sandy Lyle hit.

I can understand that. Rather than 'impressed' I guess I was more referring to the 'moment.' For example, I'd seen pictures and read about the Mona Lisa all my life. But the first time I stood there at the Louvre and saw it there in its small glass case, surrounded by people, I wasn't 'impressed' with the artwork itself but I certainly got a case of goosebumps standing there looking at it in person. Does this make sense?
