I’ve gone to the Masters twice, and then have made two other trips to Augusta National on business trips. I thought one year I was actually going to play the course. Oh well . . . If you have never been, you cannot imagine how beautiful it is.
There can be no single stupider thing than adults spending hundreds of dollars to put a small ball in a hole. As long as one child doesn’t have enough food, God must put golfers in a special kind of hell.
I am jealous.

That’s one of the reasons why it is called a “Gentleman’s Game.” Etiquette is a large part of the sport.
We live on a golf course and occasionally have spectators walking the course during a tournament.
The difference between golf fans/spectators, and other sports fans (i.e. football, hockey, baseball)...the golf fans are sober. They’re walking the course instead of sitting in a stadium consuming copius amounts of alcohol and acting like “jerks.”
My son used to go to his college football games but told me he quit attending. He’d take his girlfriend with him and he said the behavior at the games was so bad he didn’t want her in that atmosphere.
Sobriety makes for a more polite group of onlookers.
Women like needling...crochet, knitting, tatting...
Just hmmmmmm
I’m very happy for you! It looked (on tv ;-) like a beautiful weekend.
I play once a year...it’s a charity event where all the proceeds go to Our Daily Bread, a soup kitchen in Baltimore. Our Daily Bread averages 700 meals daily to the less fortunate.
Am I good or evil? Hope that makes me good. I need help for the other 364 days of drinking and gambling. LOL.
I’ve had the pleasure of attending the Masters several times. I spent most of my time around the 13th and 16th greens. It’s a truly beautiful place.
The decorum of the Masters attendees certainly is very much due to the fact that golf is a gentleman’s game, but it’s also due to the southern setting. If one looked hard enough, I’m sure one could find some New Yorkers misbehaving. It’s just that at Augusta, they’re way outnumbered.
