Augusta National





















The history, the wonder, the beauty, the commitment to excellence - those things you knew.  There were some surprises.

You just can't believe how small the greens are.  You can't begin to understand the slope of the greens until you see them up close. You are not prepared for how steep the hills are on the course.

The Augusta Azalea's









Words are not enough.  TV cannot do it justice.  It is Augusta National.

And yes, there is Wisteria.

Master's Practice Round



How appropriate that Ernie Els and friends seem to be praying as they gather at Amen Corner.

Last year's winner, Adam Scott, practicing the approach at #11 in Amen Corner.






We had the pleasure of watching several players in their final practice round before the start of the tournament.

Brandt Snedeker







Enjoyed watching and cheering for Nashville's own Brandt Snedeker - with his family in the Par 3 tournament.

Master's Selfie





You can't blame me, right?

Master's Par 3





A Wednesday tradition at Augusta National - the afternoon Par 3 tournament where the wives and kids get to caddy and the legends of the game can still play. A course as well groomed and impressive as the Master's course.

The Legends of the Game









Between them, they have won 13 green jackets at Augusta National.  What an honor to watch Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nickolas play in the par 3.
