On the Masters - part 1

The below copy has come from a colleague of mine who runs a golf manufacture busines.....

A friend of mine was in Augusta today, and had a long conversation with Mr Waters, who is 80, and owns Bonaventure Golf. This store is fantastic, and has been in existence for 40 yrs. He owns all his inventory, has NO receivables, and yes, he does business with us.

Some of his customers during the 3 weeks of the Masters.....one week prior, the actual week, and one week after, include, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Johnnie Miller, Tom Watson, Angel cabrerra, Camillo Villegas, Sergio Garcia....get the message.

Well here is the kicker.

Tiger has been in Augusta since this past Sunday.

Monday shot 74

Tuesday shot 75

Wednesday said he wanted to play like it was the Masters...shot 72-77. 36 holes.

The caddies were saying, as he hit every shot there were 10 golf carts surrounding him, with 2 armed guards in each cart.

Where the ball was expected to land, be that the fairway off the tee, or the green, an additional 5 golf carts, with 2 armed guards in each were waiting.

On holes that border Augusta National, an additional 6 golf carts were positioned on the fence side of the hole. 2 guards, both armed.

All this with NO ONE ON THE COURSE!!!!!!!!!!

Augusta Police have called in extra security for the 7 days of the Tournament.

All the vacant houses that had not been rented have been snapped up by Puliitzer Prizewinning Organisations like TMZ, The National Enquirer, etc etc. The Caddies that are walking the course are saying.......60-40 he wont make the cut. 95-5 say he cannot win Drives not too accurate, and short game not up to par.

Putting....not even close.

It makes for interesting reading - as will the interview with Woods - should he condescend to give one, if he fails to make the cut.

The thrill of anticipation is in the air!
