Some Masters quotes.
“At my first Masters, I got the feeling that if I didn’t play well, I wouldn’t go to heaven.”
–Dave Marr
“If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.”
–Ben Hogan
“I miss, I miss, I miss, I make.”
–Seve Ballesteros, explaining four-putt green at 16
“I’ve never been to heaven, and thinking back on my life, I probably won’t get a chance to go. I guess winning the Masters is a close as I’m going to get.”
–Fuzzy Zoeller
“I told Hord Hardin I was getting too old to play in the Masters, but he kept saying, Gene, they don’t want to see you play, they just want to see if you’re still alive.”
–Gene Sarazen
“On the fifteenth hole I started thinking how I’d look in the Green Jacket. The next thing I know, they’re giving it to Charley Coody.”
–Johnny Miller

I just hope that we will get a winner at this week's Masters unlike the PGA (Bradley), US Open (Simpson) and British Open (Els) where I believe that we had no winners. Yes, I know that they have their names on the board but I will never recognize their legal "cheating". Pity that we will need to wait until 2016 before we enjoy the game again.
Yes! thank you ArmchairGolf…the hour is nigh at hand fellow golf enthusiast.
I am puzzled that golf media has abandoned Hunter Mahan when just about a yr ago he was projected as multiple Major winner.
Apart from the Tiger if he can the ball in the fairway,it seems to me my next pick is Justin Rose.
Anyway,they have to play don't they.
Happy viewing friends.
