Bubba + Waffle House= Masters Winner....




There’s nothing like starting off the golf season with the Masters.  I can’t imagine a better way to showcase golf and its tradition.  I love absolutely everything about the Masters.  I love the hype, the beautiful scenery, the fabulous outfits, the meltdowns, the roars, and the passion.  

This years masters lived up to all my expectations.  We had some serious meltdowns that I wont even address…cough Rory getting beat by the Club Champion of Augusta..cough.  We had some fantastic outfits thanks to Rickie Fowler and we had a variety of leaders throughout the four days which goes to show you anything and I mean anything can happen on Masters weekend.


Before I get to congratulate Bubba I want to give a shout out to Jordan Spieth.  You played so well and everybody says of you have so much time ahead of you and you do but just know we are proud of you for never backing down and making the win for Bubba not too easy.  I know you will be back and even better for your next tournament so keep fighting...


Now on to the champion and the name buzzed around 220 countries BUBBA WATSON.  I am a big fan of Bubba.  I am so pleased that he was able to come back and win after last years disappointing showing.  I also want to point out that he is a Ping player and I love everything Ping. 

"After giving it away last year, I wanted it back," Watson said. "I told Adam we could just swap it back and forth every year."

Where else would Bubba Watson go after winning the Masters but the Waffle House? At about 1:30 in the morning, Watson, his wife Angie and several friends hit a Waffle House somewhere near Augusta National to celebrate.

Day One: Recap of the Masters...



Day one of the Masters has come and gone.  Some surprises, some confusion, some really nice long putts and our 2013 Champion in the running.  I would have to say that Thursday Round 1 was considered a success.  Surprisingly was the way the field took to the course on round one.  I was shocked at the number of players with 80+ scores.  Thursday proved to be a difficult test for all participates. 


Bill Haas fired an impressive opening round 68 to hold the first-round lead all by himself. Haas bogeyed the opening hole, but played his final 17 at 5-under to grab the clubhouse lead after day one.  The most exciting part of the day was when previous champions Adam Scott and Bubba Watson came in with a 3 under score.  



I was happy to see the following names: Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Fred Couples and Rickie Fowler that were also able to post an opening round under par, getting themselves in a great spot with 54 holes remaining.  They have all been featured on my blog at some point.  I would really like to see Jordan and Rickie fire low rounds going into the weekend.


Hole # 12 the beautiful par 3 proved to be a challenge for the boys on Thursday.   Adam Scott found the water and made a double-bogey, Oosthuizen couldn't avoid the water on the par-3 and even McIlroy, who found the green, three-putted for a water-free bogey.


I can hardly wait what the next three days brings for us!  Look forward to taking it all in stride.


Enjoy your week of the Masters.
