Spent the day at Augusta yesterday. Maybe the most beautiful day I can ever remember there. Spent a lot of time at Hole 16 and even got to see Paul Casey hit a hole-in-one on Hole 12. Poulter was playing with him and he looks like an even bigger dbag in person than on tv.
Always amazed watching these guys hit golf balls. Also, the level of fitness on tour now is remarkable. Most of these guys are in really good shape. Webb Simpson has lost a ton of weight. Looks like a bean pole now. Its something to see some of these guys who are maybe 5-8 and150 and most crush drives 300+ yards and look like they are barely swinging.
Course wise, in immaculate shape (as always). Think there will be some rain on Thur.
Got to see Arnold Palmer mingling with all of the other rich folks. Cool to see Arnie in person for the first time ever.
Talked some trash with Day on one of his drives. Stood right beside him and told him I did not think he could hit it passed the sand trap in the fairway (knowing full well he could). He just laughed and said he may be able to hit is 250. Went on to hit it probably 310.
Zach Johnson really looked keyed in to his round. Was taking a lot of notes and did not really offer much to the crowd like others were. I would bet he is in contention this week.
Overall, always have a great time at Augusta National. Highly recommend everyone to go at least once. Beer is cheap, food is good, and its great talking to folks across the world about golf.
Note: If you want to buy stuff in the gift shops, bring lots of $. Very pricey.
