Golf Digest had a great piece about Carl Jackson this month (crenshaw's caddie). He was on Player's bag at one point in the early 70's. When he showed up the next year , Jackson Stephens, a big Augusta membertold him to take an ameatur. Jackson relented and a few years later ended up on Crenshaw's bag - the rest is history.

So even though he didn't win with Player, he got 2 wins with gently Ben.
If the course is hard and dry, he still thinks Ben can win.

One guy who won 3 green jackets, Faldo , each one of those I can remeber the other guy screwing up
1)floyd - in the water on 11 in the playoff
2)hoch - the 2 foot putt
3)norman - the 78 in the last round

Faldo played great golf and scopped up 3 green jackets that were thrown away

Martin...that was Faldo's specialty though...wait for the other guy to blink first.

Although Norman choked bad...people forget how PERFECT Faldo played that day. He shot 67...hit 16 greens in regulation and had 15 uphill birdie putts. That my friend is flat incredible on Sunday in a major. Always been a huge fan of Faldo and the way he played the game.

I love the Masters too. Kinda signifies the kick off of golf season to me. I played last Thurs, Fri and Sun. Didn't do too bad for a hacker like me. Played one of the greatest single holes ever yesterday for me. 470 yd par 5, 15-20 m wind dead in the face. Ripped one about 260 or so down the middle, about 210-215 out to a raised green that sits probably 20 ft higher than I was. I crushed a 5 wood off the dirt (no grass in fairway yet) that hit the front of the green on a fly and settled about 20 ft from the cup. Not too often I get home in 2 on a par 5. Well, didn't sink the eagle put, but was able to 2-putt for the bird. That kinda stuff is what keeps me comming back.

Oh, and TIGER all day and twice on Sunday to win this week. He is playing way too well right now. May be one of those 4-5 shot leads going into Sunday that will "Ghost" the rest of the field.

I dunno man, the whole winter was just a real crap time for me. I lost interest in a lot different things. I was still online looking at the site and suff, but just didn't have much to say. But, that is all water under the bridge, I'm back on track now and feeling good again. Looking forward to spring and summer. DERBY TIME BABY!

Thanks a bunch my man! Always had a cool vibe with you my dog. We are about the same age, same taste in a lot of stuff. If you ever get a chance to come to Louisville for Derby, or whatever, we definately need to hook up and play golf or hit Churchill or something. It would be good times! Dude, Friday happy hour is a blast!

Well Kevin, my dream begins this Thursday at 4 AM, we'll head down to Augusta to arrive before the gates open at 8 AM. Then what? I think a quick $4-500 in the merchandise tent, maybe the range next? We want to follow one group early to walk the entire course, so who do you recommend? Parings come out this afternoon, looking for a group without too much celebrity status. Probably spend the PM at 12 or 16 hopefully. I am pinching myself, finally get to see the course I have memorized watching TV.
