All I can remember is that I was traveling. I was quite proud of myself for setting up my flights early in the morning so I could be home in time to watch the back 9. An early start was announced because of impending weather. Then I get stuck on the tarmac in Chicago (I think). Funny how I can't remember where I was traveling from or why. Was my plane stuck on the tarmac because of snow in Chicago that day? How was this only last year when it seems like more than a lifetime ago?


Back on track.


Masters.com came to my rescue and I was able to watch a large amount of the tournament on my phone. From what I recall the plane didn't have WiFi so I didn't miss all that much on my flight from MCO to EVV. Another miracle of our modern times, SirusXM, provided coverage on my drive home. I do not recall if I made it in time to watch the finish of TV. The finish was transcendent enough that it didn't matter.


Where were you?

At the apartment of one of my former college players, with his wife and three other former college players.

It was tough to imagine that the last time Tiger had won a major they were not even teenagers yet, and the last time he'd won the Masters they were not yet even ten.

I watched at home with my at the time 9 year old son.  He had heard me talk alot about Tiger and how good he was but had never really seen it himself. It was really special to watch with him.

I skipped going to Church to stay home and watch the final round on my sofa. I felt bad choosing golf over the Lord, but I had to see it live and I'm glad that I did, as it was arguably the most drama-filled back nine in the tournaments history given all of the leaderboard changes, topped only by The Cat's historic win.

I think I was on the plane when the leaders played the 12th. What happened?

Sunday at Augusta with the drama and leaders coming down the back 9 has always been far more holier and spiritual than anything I ever experienced in my church going days...especially last year!!  :D

I played Trump Aberdeen and Cruden Bay.  After the rounds I watched the back nine of the tournament on the BBC.  I thoroughly enjoyed Alliss and Azinger on commentary.

I miss seeing Peter Alliss on U.S. TV during the Open Championship, but am glad to know he is alive and well. What do you across the pond think of Azinger as commentator? I didn't care for him initially, but he's grown on me the past year.

Behind the 16th green and right next door around the back of the 17th tee!  My first Masters was a good one.

At home, watching on tape delay.   For today, was that kudzu on the pine trees by 17 tee?  For Rory was it really The Masters, starting on 10? How different is it?

I actually remember 1997 more distinctly than 2019 except for one fact: the players who stayed to congratulate Tiger last year, especially those who are Masters Champions.

Shackleford has some nice excerpts of interchanges between Nantz and Tiger broadcast in USA last night.


Did they discuss the strategy for the second (and third) shots on 18? 


CBS commentary said he had 8i, BBC said 'very lofted'.

Tony - Nantz and Tiger didn’t discuss the strategy of the 18th. Speculation was that Tiger clipped a tree limb on his second shot.
