A few of the fellas from my neck of the woods are taking on Augusta National , Boo Weekley , Heath Slocum and Bubba Watson .
They’re all from the Florida Panhandle.
Slocum doesn’t actually live there any more, but you never really leave Milton .
I’d like to be a fly on the wall at Augusta. I wonder what these guys think of the white bread and cheese sandwiches. I ...

Augusta: A Tradition Like No Other
Posted 4/10/2008 on The Sports Hernia Blog

"As far as I can see, it's just another golf course." If you follow golf with any consistency, it shouldn't surprised you that Boo Weekley was unimpressed with Augusta National, home to the Masters. I get the impression the only things that get Boo's blood moving are 10-pound bass, 12-point Buck, and other "racks" of similar abundance.

(Photo: The Armchair Golfer) A moment before “lift off.” Tiger Woods collects a tee and readies himself to launch his 3 metal on the par-4 10th hole at Augusta National during Monday’s practice round.

There’s a golf tournament of note that’s underway in Georgia; one you may have heard of. Yes, I’m talking about The Masters. The hunt for the Green Jacket is already underway, although, they experienced a 40-minute fog delay; moving the start times of the rest of the field back.

Posted 4/9/2008 on Dogs That Chase Cars
One extremely interested wrinkle in how Augusta National plays each year is this - Tiger Woods has never won on a "hard" Augusta year. Actually, Tiger has never won at Augusta when the winning score is just single digits under par. His victories looked like this : 18-under, 16-under, 12-under, and 12-under. Actually, in the Tiger ear era, only one golfer has shot double-digits under par ...50 Years Ago at the Masters: Fred Hawkins’ Near Win

What’s that saying? Something about no one remembers who finishes in second? Fifty years ago, in 1958, Arnold Palmer won his first Green Jacket. Palmer’s play and charisma combined with television forever changed professional golf. Arnie went on to three more Masters titles in 1960, 1962 and 1964. There’s a plaque honoring Palmer on the second nine at Augusta National. Last fall I talked to ...Updating the Augusta National Weather Watch

The 2008 Masters will be the five-year anniversary of Martha Burk’s protest at Augusta National. And while the protest itself was small (two dozen or so people with twice as many police officers as protestors) it was effective. Because a light was shone on Augusta National and the Masters that cannot be extinguished.

A lot of people don't know this, but in 1997 at the Masters, Tiger Woods played really well. Tiger started the tournament shooting 40 on the front nine, but followed that up with a tidy little six-under 30 on the back, and pretty much ripped Augusta apart after that. This was the Old Augusta National, the Short Augusta National, the Rough-less Augusta National and an Augusta National that ...The Armchair Golfer Visits the Masters

(Pocketwiley/Flickr) “Get off on the last South Carolina exit,” Kathy said. “It’s farther but will save you time.” Kathy works in the ticket office at the Augusta National Golf Club. She helped me a week ago when my tickets for the Monday practice round didn’t arrive, so yesterday I called again to ask her advice on parking and which exit to take. Kathy could not have been more pleasant. ...A Listener’s Guide To Augusta National And The Masters

April 4, 2008 Masters broadcasts are ripe (perhaps overly so) with references to the names of various geographical features at Augusta National. The announcers drop names like the “Crow’s Nest”, “Eisenhower Tree” and “Amen Corner” with careless abandon, perhaps assuming that the average listener knows what they’re talking about—or perhaps in an attempt to make themselves seem to be a chummy ...Greensboro Grasshoppers Oust Augusta GreenJackets 3-1 in Opener
