The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Holy Moly
What a great Masters Tournament.
Rory wins it with a birdie on 18 in a playoff with Justin Rose to complete The Grand Slam.

Took my golf push cart outta the garden cart and put it in the car.
I rode most of last year cause my knee was a bit tweaked but after skiing turns all winter it feels much better.

Onto some hacktion .
Golfing is fun.

Yes! What a tournament it was. Great fun to watch and I'm very happy for Rory.
I was in shock how he played #13 on Sunday. WTF! Proof even the best of the best get nervous

Now that the monkey is off his back, i expect him to win 2 or 3 more majors. He is one of the greats.

Bobby Jones won a grandslam all in the same year if ya count The US Amateur cause there wasn’t The Masters back then. He helped start Augusta National Golf Club and The Masters Tournament.

Thought this history of how the land at Augusta National got going was interesting. There’s a "garden state”-Georgia peaches connection.

He is class. Rosie stayed in my neighbors house during the PGA championship. I didn't see him around but my wife saw him jogging past our house one morning. The Rose family left their home in very nice shape and even left some photo's etc and a nice handwritten note thanking them.

I was bummed we didn't put our house on the list-- rental is a nice chunk of tax free income. Though you could end up with some undesirable slob (I know one) and I wouldn't want them in my home no matter the cash.

Rory sure made it interesting on day 4 and in the end made history, also the only champ to win with 4 doubles on his cards.
Thought Rose had no chance on Sunday and he might have taken the green jacket if he had only bogeyed one less hoe in that fourth round to go with the 10 birdies. Wow!

Another stat that blew my mind was Rory having 30 3's

Masters is just so awesome to watch!
The fireworks today are so explosive, Rory is a freak.
Tirolski you lucky dog, you still down there?

The food was a treat to boot. The 16oz Stellas for $6 hit the spot(s). First time I ever ate a pimento & cheese sammich. The folks we stayed with gave me some pimento & cheese with jalapeño fixins to take home. Gonna get some good bread & try it.

Shared pecan-white chocolate chip cookies with folks yesterday while watching the telecast. My brother said they were the best cookies he ever ate.

He had 6 in a row at the start of round 3 and just missed on a birdie for the seventh one.
