re: Do you get as excited about the Masters as you did 20 or so years ago?

It’s a beautiful golf course and a great event. I’ve been a few times and would love to go back. But people fawn over it like it’s some sacred hallowed ground, like the air is different there. At the end of the day it is a golf tournament at an extremely well maintained golf course. There are tons of those out there. However, as another poster pointed out, other big tournaments (sans the players) aren’t held at the same course each year, so people don’t treat them the same way. Or at least they don’t have the opportunity to obsess over them in the same way.

ehhh

I've been to a lot of big sporting events and a lot of pristine golf courses or other environments that are set up to impress, and I'm still impressed every time I go. Whether it gives you that pseudo-religious feeling or not, I think it's inarguable that it is, by far, the most well run event in sports and would probably be the most immaculately run event in plenty of other "genres" too.
