Lucky lucky dogs.
Our Pro Michael got one of the golden tickets from Rory (he is his coach) and was playing augusta at the weekend then heading to Houston then back to Augusta for the masters the following week. Talk about a fantastic busmans holiday! not at all jealous whatsoever.

Wow has it really been a year since the last one?

Just sitting waiting for the Sky men to arrive and give me my shiney new sky +HD box, just in time for the action!

I would give everything I had to play Augusta, or even just go and stare at the course!

My mum and step dad went on a fly drive holiday to the east coast a few years agaon, and as he was an avid golfer at the time they went to Augusta for the day....on arrival at the course in mid-January they were greeted by a number of armed guards on the gate and spoken to very sternly by said armed guards when they tried to take a photo!!

My step dad did manage to speak to them nicely though and got a few blank score cards and a couple of ball markers off them!

Golf is awesome in HD, presuming the Masters is on the BBC are they showing it on the HD channel or not?

Haha yea by the time I split my tees with the rest of my fourball, they were gone inside around 3 weeks, they break so easily, still love telling folks they are legit Augusta Masters tees.

 

[MikeH]

Yes we will indeed do some Masters goodies again this year

I will look into what the SP for accreditation is at the PGA this year

I still have a couple of masters tees knocking about, I think i saved one and put it in my golfing draw.

I now use my Masters ball marker every time I play.

Spoff, bad news, it doesn't come 'till next Tuesday, someone got the dates wrong

You have a golfing drawer? what else is in it?

 

[TonyN]

The ball I first broke 80 with (sad I know but I dont have a hole in 1 ball)

Some other tees, gloves, divot tools, GM mags, a ball cleaner (i will chuck it when she aint looking)

It also contains an assortment of Xbox360 things

Glad to see the guys will be providing us with some local insight at the Masters again. It's always good to get an inside perspective.

Oh and Mike, if Homer gets a press pass I want one

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Thanks for at least looking into a pass Mike! I have an idea for a blog piece (maybe a mag piece) based on the experience.

Really looking forward to the first major of the year, and having the behind the scenes coverage will only make it better.
