We were lucky enough to score in the Army lottery for Masters tickets this year. This was MM's 2nd year in a row to attend a tournament round, and although I have had the privilege to experience Augusta National on practice round days, this was the first time I have been able to go to a tournament day. There's a different air about the place, more focus, more emotions.
Our day in Golf Heaven...
- Placed our chairs on the 18th hole.
- Photo opportunity at Founder's Circle front of the Clubhouse at the end of Magnolia Lane.
- 1st hole to watch Tiger Woods & Charl Schwartzel tee off.
- Walked to the 4th hole, we were able to watch one of the longest Par 3s in golf. We watched multiple golfers play through this hole, including Tiger.
- Had lunch inside, then out to car to change into shorts, headed back into the course via Gate 9.
- Tee box of Hole 6, where you can also watch the 5th green.
- Sat on the hill of the 6th hole. Really cool spot where the golfers actually tee off behind you; the ball flies over your head and you can watch the green in front of you, as well the 16th green.
- Grandstand seats at the 14th Tee Box, which provides a perfect view of the 13th green (Azalea).
- Amen Corner- found a shady spot to stand watching the 12th hole, then moved to the grandstand where we could watch 11th green, the entire 12th, and the 13th tee shots.
- We followed Phil Mickelson through Amen Corner; where he Birdied the 12th and Eagled the 13th. The crowd was pumped up!
- We made our way to the 18th (back to our chairs) and watched the remaining players finish the third round.
