Greetings Golfers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many of us, this year has seemed unreal. Of course we\u2019ve tried to make the best of it \u2026 but, I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019ve felt \u201coff\u201d all year \u2026 until Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened Monday night? \u2026 for me, it was \u201cLive at the Masters\u201d \u2026 seriously. I just felt comfort \u2026 that life was back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I know why \u2026 it\u2019s that Jim Nance saying \u201cA Tradition Unlike Any Other\u201d. The tradition of the Masters is a welcome anchor when you\u2019re feeling lost at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we need traditions. Sure, we need to change and grow \u2026 but we also need roots and things to hold onto \u2026 especially when life gets weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, the Masters isn\u2019t weird. It\u2019s stable. It\u2019s always played at Augusta National. It prides itself on traditions like the Champions Dinner. Watching the Masters is like coming home. Ahhhh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We won\u2019t be seeing azaleas \u2026 but the fall colors will be stunning. And the golf course will be perfect. It may be wet – rain is predicted – and the grass will be a little grainier than in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Softer and grainier may play into the games of high ball hitting bombers such as Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson \u2026 and of course Bryson DeChambeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, don\u2019t count out this year\u2019s PGA champion – Collin Morikawa. He\u2019s only 23 \u2026 with a great game \u2026 and a great brain. I love his interviews. He\u2019s the real deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year\u2019s Masters – won by Tiger Woods – was one of sports greatest comeback stories – maybe the greatest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great tournaments are a tradition at the Masters. Every year seems like the best one ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe that\u2019s why the Masters is \u2026 \u201cA Tradition Unlike Any Other\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
