Gib:
I have never been more proudly identified. Hell yes, I play this game for the challenge and enjoyment; and I can't imagine anywhere I've yet to play where each would be better fuflilled than at Augusta. I could give a rat's ass what they do it; it's the home of the Masters, and it looks very very fun to play. So well said friend; sign me up, get us those tee times. You can walk and study as I play, then we'll BOTH play Chechessee. We'lll then debate over several drinks who had the most fun that day.
BTW, I suck now too (ask a few GCAers who played with me recently). But the day I quit trying to play, preferring to study, is the day I take up tiddlywinks. It's a sport... a game... not a study piece. My life goal is to be Bob Huntley... if you want to be Tom Paul, more power to you (no offense if you're reading Tom!).
Jim - tell said member to send me an invite.
