Nothing is Quite Like the Masters

The Masters is the Masters and there is nothing quite like it in all honesty. Well in golf at least, as the Kilted Caddie writes

Bubba Watson, who has won the Masters twice in 2012 and 2014, missed the cut this year

The press is now seemingly treated like royalty by all accounts, and were housed in a new mansion adjacent to the driving range with sumptuous facilities and a menu with crayfish étouffée, braised brisket of beef and pimento cheese. Mind you it’s not a holiday. I mean you have to, I presume, watch the golf and post some half decent writing. And sometimes that’s not easy I would think. You are bound to catch some golfers at the wrong moment.

One chap seemingly tried to interview Bubba after he’d missed the cut. He seemingly quipped ‘golf is hard, I don’t know if you’ve ever played but writing articles is easy.’ Maybe if the said writer hadn’t mentioned his lunch of crayfish étouffée he would have got a more sympathetic response mind you. But Bubba is right. Golf is a damn hard game and Augusta is a hell of a course. I am sure Jordan Spieth will have ongoing nightmares about the par-3 round Amen Corner. In fact, I am sure he will take it to the grave. And as for these greens, they are enough to turn anyone to drink I would think.
