Love watching the Masters
It's one of the best sporting events on TV, imo.

Yup.
When color TV came out, golf took off.

The story behind the Masters’ first-ever color-TV broadcast

When chairman Cliff Roberts persuaded CBS to broadcast the Masters in color, Augusta National went from a golf course to a national phenomenon. Here's how.

TV doesn’t do the hill justice though.
Ya could ski a couple holes, especially #10. Vertical drop=116’. Biggest course vertical drop 175’. There’s a lot of tilt to the greens too.
Got there to watch a practice round Monday when Zach Johnson won it.
It was an overgrown nursery before Bobby Jones et al made a golf course.

Campbell Vaughn: Augusta National's beauty actually began as a plant nursery

This Masters Tournament season should be one of the best we have seen in quite some time for the dogwoods.
