There’s one tradition at the Masters that doesn’t generate as much attention as, say the Par 3 Competition or the Champions Dinner, but is no less exciting. It’s the lottery that takes place to determine which media members covering the tournament will have the opportunity to play the course on Monday, just hours after the players have cleaned out their lockers.
Check out this story by Steve DiMeglio from USA Today summarizing his experience playing Augusta National as an 8 handicap yesterday. Then click on “Add Comment” and let us know how you think you would play.
I play to 8 hcp. myself and after reading and looking at Steve’s scorecard, I would have to say, had he not had that 8 at #15, he would have shot a very respectable score for Augusta. I think if I would ever have that opportunity, I would be hard pressed to even pull the trigger.
Congratulations on a good round.
