Bay Area Masters weekend get together

[Matt_Cohn]

I wanted to gauge interest in having a Masters-viewing get together for Bay Area GCA'ers, either Saturday or Sunday of Masters weekend. I'd vote for Sunday so that we could watch the lead-in of the 1960 tournament, although it would make for an earlier start.

I don't have a site or anything planned - just gauging interest at this point.

Matt - it's a hell of a great idea - we had a blast watching the final round after The King's Putter a few years ago.  But we were a captive audience that day....

Unfortunately this year the timing might prevent much interest in a get together.  You see, the final round this year occurs on Easter Sunday.  I can't imagine many of us with kids being allowed to venture off for a solo golf-related event that day.  

Saturday would be possible for more people I'd guess.  But what's the fun of watching the third round?

reminds me of the time in the past when the final round fell on Easter..someone pointed this out to Clifford Roberts, who then asked "Can't they move Easter?"

Bump. In that case, anybody want to come into the city (SF, that is) and watch the Masters with me?

Matt,
   I don't think I can get out of the house, but if you want to watch out here with me in Pleasanton you are more than welcome. Plus my wife is a good cook, so you have that going for you too.
   What Tom mentioned about the King's Putter was very cool. I'll never forget Tiger's pitch on #16 falling in the hole with us all watching together.
