    So for yesterday's practice round, the club gave everyone on the premises, players, caddies, patrons, media, etc., a free pair of eclipse glasses. The cardboard frames were Masters green. It's an institution with flaws, big ones, but Augusta National also has style.

    It's an experience unlike any other.

    Pretty sure someone got a hole in one on 16 during the eclipse.

    Visited 14 years ago for a Monday practice round. It was magnificent. I’m unsure how much we ate but it was a lot thanks to the inexpensive prices. No one yelled. No one ran. Everyone was polite. Television doesn’t do it justice, as has been said repeatedly.

    Just a remarkable experience I was able to share with my brother. My only regret is I didn’t buy a few more shirts and caps.

    I've told people it might very well be the most beautiful place I've ever been. Most people don't believe me.

    Friend of mine is best friends with a pro that has played in The Masters a couple of times. They played college golf together at K-State. He was best man in his wedding.
    Gets the call…..get on a plane and get down here. I want you to experience this.
    He tells us that whatever picture you’ve seen or video on tv….it does it no justice at all.
