And if his back stays in line.

If I had any money, it'd be on Geoff Ogilvy.

Going to the Masters one year is on my "to do before I die" list.

my 3 hopefuls....Adam Scott....Zack Johnson...Aaron Baddeley

The first time you go, try to go for a Monday or Tuesday Practice Round. You can take your camera and the place is just too beautiful and perfect not to take pictures.

It is the cathedral of sports, bar none!

My heart says go with local boy Zack Johnson, but Tiger looks like his typical self these days. (UNBEATABLE).
Good luck to all of them.

I would skip the Practice Round. If you are doing it once, do it right and go to the actual tournament. I've been to both and it is a world of difference.

I used to go every year, but alas that time has passed.

and you think getting front row tickets to a buffett concert is hard. try getting masters tickets

Given the choice between taking Tiger and "the field", I'll take Tiger.

Hope I can see part of the par 3 contest today. ESPN, 3-5 p.m.

So what does that say about someone who has had both?

Actually, the badges are in my family. We used to get them every year until my aunt retired. Now they supplement her income. They are still available, they just have another zero in the price now.

just watching the golf channel coverage and they had a game called Beat Brandell where a caller was asked 5 questions and had to answer more than Brandell Chamblee does. while Brandell was wearing the ear phones so he would not hear any answers, he said the music playing was Jimmy Buffett APLA40! he then said the song must have been for in studio co host Frank Nobilo who is a descendant of pirates!

I've been to both before as well, practice rounds and actual tournament rounds. I love how relaxed it is during the practice rounds. I also love the intensity of the tournament rounds!! What an AWESOME place to be!!
