Golf writer Andy Reistetter is at Masters week for the third consecutive year. Here are his thoughts, comments and perspectives for Monday at the 2011 Masters. Look for his column every day for an upfront, personal and firsthand look at what is happening at Augusta National in the 75th rendition of this springtime classic!   I pulled a "Jim Furyk" and had an alarm clock malfunction this morning.

 

So I was a little later than expected driving up to Augusta from the Jacksonville, Florida area. The drive took me four-and-a-half hours from home to the most beautiful golf course in the world.

 

Granted I am a little unusual in that I no longer celebrate "annual-style" birthdays. Rather I chose to track the age milestones in my life in terms of "thousand-days." I am just shy of 19 "thou-days…

 

I felt like I was the regular 19 this morning driving on a beautiful sunny day with the top down in my old 1992 Infiniti M30. With just over 100,000 miles now the engine roars like a new one. The good news is I did not get a speeding ticket along the way. The bad news is good news—there is no bad news as anyone can attest that has made their way to the Mecca of Golf.

 

Though the weather in Northeast Florida has been awesome for the most part the last couple of weeks, this kid is from Binghamton, New York and, even after the last five years living south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I still feel that spring sensation.

 

Spring has sprung. That extra kick is in my step. The sap is running warmer and quicker through my veins. All because it is Masters week.

 

The two hours on I-95 went faster than one would anticipate for the posted speed limit. Especially in southern Georgia where low country salt water marsh vistas pass quickly.

 

Near Savannah a turn to the north...
