And you can at Masters.com


Eh, I can watch Amen Corner, 15 & 16, and two groups on a small laptop screen. It's not the same as watching a broadcast jump from hole to hole to points of interets on a large HD television.

They may, and it is a nice perk that TV picks it all up, but they don't have to.

Augusta National is more about power than it is about money. It is not what you can afford but who you know, and how you act. The initiation fee is in the "low five figures," according to one source, and a member adds, "You could afford it," knowing full well he was speaking to someone making a journalist's salary. The annual dues, two insiders say, amount to "a few thousand dollars," and it costs about $100 a night to stay in one of the 105 beds that are on site.

I remember growing up seeing only the back nine on TV. Even today, I can only picture about 8-18 in my head.

And I get more pumped about the Masters than any other golf event.

I wanted to watch Tiger tomorrow morning, but apparently thats not going to happen


You're right, but it's because he doesn't tee off until 12:45 in the afternoon CDT.
