The Masters: Sport’s Last Truly Great Event

I’ve been to the Super Bowl. I’ve been to NBA playoff games. I’ve been to World Series Games. I’ve been to the U.S. Open Tennis tournament. I’ve been to the U.S. Open golf tournament.

As I have watched the Masters over the past few years, I have noticed that the 16th hole is fast becoming one of the greatest venues in all of golf.   It has always been a great hole and has been a platform for golf history, but now with the added monuments to Jack and Arnie, and with the seating along the bank, this has truly become a “stage” for golf.
