The Masters is more than just a tournament!
Living north of the 49th parallel, the golf season is way too short. Most years the season is about seven months long. This is not near long enough unless golfers are willing to move south! Regardless, the Masters always means more, much more to the avid golfer in Canada. The April Major signals so many great things that it is important to mention them to help set the stage for the weekend. So here they are:
Local Course Still Under Water 6 April 2014
- Spring is here!;
- Four days of awesome golf on TV;
- Strongest golfing field of 2014 slugging it out with no mercy;
- Presenting the green jacket to the winner – not sure why, but love to watch it;
- The local golf courses are open (or should be);
- The warm weather is here to stay;
- I can get my clubs out of storage;
- I can start working on my swing with more than a pencil; and
- I pick the Masters Champion: Rory McIlroy!
The Masters is an exciting time of the year and it is more than just a tournament.
What does it mean to you?
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links….soon!

So very true, Jim. The Masters says “hey, Winter, move along!” and golf season is here! Also, for those of us in Canada, it means the fake hockey season is ending and real playoff hockey is about to start (even if we only have one Canadien team in this year).

You know it! The team that made is the the team I dislike the most. But since they are the only Canadian team, I guess I will have to support them. Makes the transition from winter stuff to golf easier!

That is from my local par 3 course in Frankford, Ontario. With my membership at Roundel Glen at the military base in Trenton, I can play there as well. Pretty sweet deal. I can hardly wait….looking at 30 mm of rain on Sunday…that should take care of the snow!
Cheers
