Augusta Ace: Winner Charl Schwartzel on the lastThere are questions that are so obvious to answer they simply don’t need to be asked. “Would you like another free drink?”, “Are the Kennedys gun-shy?”, “Is the bear a Catholic?”, “Does the Pope...?” I'm sure you get my drift.
I came across another such example a couple months ago when out of the blue, I was asked if I would like to go to the Masters. Needless to say, I answered in the affirmative. Attending the Masters is probably on every true golf fan’s bucket list and now, safely if sadly back in Hong Kong, I can share my experiences regarding getting tickets, things to see and do and overall impressions.
Before I begin, I would say now that the tournament surpassed my highest expectations. I found myself giddy with excitement leading up to the event, which is quite something given that I'm no spring chicken. Everything about Augusta is heightened – and the memories I have when writing this are unbelievably vivid. It is, quite frankly, the best non-playing golfing experience of my life, a truly unforgettable few days. However, having told myself beforehand that it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, I'm now determined to go back – time and time again.
