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!
In this event, golfers may use their children as caddies, which helps to create a family-friendly atmosphere. In 2008, the event was televised for the first time by ESPN .
