The Masters is not just any tourney. You hope for great golf, not that one or another will win.

One of my favorite childhood memories is of the 15th tee box at Augusta 1970. I was standing with my Dad on the back of the tee looking down on the 10th green watching Sam Sneed putt out. I sensed someone behind me and turned around to see Jack Nickolas standing there also watching. We watched for a bit, then he turned around and hit a 300+ yard drive down the 15th fairway. I was muchly impressed!

Then there was the time that Tiger overshot the 17th Green and his ball rolled into my Dad's food. But that's another story.

My uncle who had the tickets, and, my Dad have both passed now, so, even if I could get tickets, I don't know if I would go. We had a great time!
