The Masters!
April 7th, 2011, Posted by andrea |  1 Comment »

I was fortunate this year to attend the Thursday round of the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta!  What a fantastic place and experience!  We arrived early in the morning to watch the warm up of the players.  They hit the ball so solid and long!  The entire day was spent seeing at least one tee shot from each hole, the second shot in to the green to each hole and a few putts and short game skills at the greens.  My favorite spot to watch the players go through was at the corner of 13 where most were hitting their second shot to the green instead of laying up on the par 5.  The course is in perfect shape and greens were slick. The day ended with us watching Phil hit 3 different drivers all over the driving range until dark!  Great day in Augusta!

 

My Major Experience

Kraft Nabisco Tournament Course Last weekend I was in Rancho Mirage CA playing in the last tee time before they closed the course for the first LPGA Major of the season.  What a beautiful course in top notch condition.  Too bad the wind was blowing 40 miles per hour.  Made the course severely tough!!  Watching the event on the Golf Channel this week helps me see how I should have played some of the holes!!  Canadian Stephanie Sherlock is in the field after a solid performance in the Kia Classic in LA the previous week. Alena Sharp is having a good start as well.  Hopefully Poppy's Pond is a refeshing end for the great player to win this event on Sunday!
