Every year I forget how absolutely beautiful the Augusta golf course really is. However: Should I forget, the same cadre of announcers is there to remind me of its beauty. AND they also remind me of the special language of the MASTERS -
- Patrons, not gallery.
- Second cut, not rough.
- Hole location, not cup location.
- Second nine, not back nine.
- Our leader, not tournament leader.
If announcers make a mistake, they silently disappear. Money is never mentioned
THREE QUICK QUESTIONS:
- How much money did Immelman win?
- How much did Tiger win for second place?
- How much money did Snedeker leave on the table
when he dropped out of sole second place?
LOTS OF NEW FACES AMONG THE TOP TEN. The winner, not champion, Trevor Immelman. THE PROUD NEW OWNER OF THE GREEN JACKET.
(Remember when Phil won his first GREEN JACKET, he slept in it on Sunday night.)
