Live From Augusta

VIP Parking Spot

After a smooth flight in the SteelPen jet to SC, Bear visited with his son Andy and family. He checked his barely walking Grandson's golf swing (looks good) and played a challenge match with son Andy at the Walker course on Clemson University's campus. They were chased from the course by thunderstorms after 15 holes with Andy holding a one shot advantage. After a two hour drive to Augusta they pulled into VIP parking for the National Press. They placed their chairs inside the ropes on the 16th hole to have great seats later in the day. Big News: beers now $3.00 and there are no tuna sandwiches anymore replaced by a club sandwich (bummer). A few highlights Tiger is not as buff in person as he is on tv, Rory really hits it different than most big high draw effortlessly, Gentle Ben looking a little old, Bubba Watson moves all over the place when he swings, Oosthuzien beautiful swing but huge ears, 5th green looks like they buried an elephant in the middle, Watson receives applause on every green and tee no matter how he hits it, Euros all wear pants tight with slits on bottom cuff, worst dressed Scotsman Sandy Lyle, Sergio hasn't shaved in a few days, walk ways a little soft and muddy, and rain held off until late. 84 degrees and sunny most of the day. More reports tomorrow...
