Can you remember back to when you first started golfing. I wonder if you just picked up a club and started whacking away. When I first started, that is exactly what I did. I actually never practiced for the first 15 years after I swung my first club. I play a great deal and I guess that was considered my practice. Until 30 years ago, when I started practicing, I would suggest I bounce around at whatever part of my game that needed fixing that day.

He just needs to play his regular game and he will don his first green jacket and second Major. At this time, I am not sure anyone will catch him unless the slips on the again and lets hope that does not happen; right Brian?

With day two sort of in the books, the 2020 Masters is shaping up to be a different kind of Major. I appreciate that the organizers must keep pressing on, but the split rounds really puts a damper on my overall excitement of watching The Masters. How about you?
