Some things and some people get older and meaner with age. Augusta National is older and a lot meaner than it used to be. Spent enough time there in the days of Jack and Gary and Fuzzy, walked no less than 200 holes there, got to know that glorious track a bit, and it is glorious.

Without a doubt, The Masters is a tournament unlike any other. From the club’s many valued “patrons” to the presence of the “first cut” around fairways—as opposed to the standard “rough” of most other golf courses—Augusta National has long hosted a golf spectacle that ranks as a must-watch event for every sports fan.

When I first wrote this piece and posted it on the pages of B/R last year “From Prison to the Pages of B/R: A Life-Changing Experience ”. The heartfelt responses that I received came as somewhat of a shock, because here I was telling a small portion of my life to people who I have never met.
