Agree with Ag_07 about the greens. They are much smaller in person I thought.

---

Yeah, the ones that really stood out to me the first time were 9 and 18. Basically intimidating tabletops that would be brutal to miss, which doesn't really come across on tv.

Almost forgot! I met Greg Norman!

We saw Rory on 5 and watched him hit his approach. As the gallery was following him I saw a tall guy with a shark hat walking towards. My brother in law mumbled to me, "hey that's Greg Norman" , so as he got close I looked him in the eye and said , " hey Greg what's up bud!" Hey looks at me, shakes my hand and says, hey man nice to see you again and then keeps walking.

For some reason this reminds me of the MLK story from Coming to America.

Yes so many false fronts on the greens and the tv angles are high up so you don't see the undulations. #1 green is crazy what a tough way to start. Hole 6 blew me away and that back right shelf to hit is about the size of a pool table. Also all the blind tee shots surprised me. I think the only par 4 or 5 hole you can see the flag from the tee is #3. What a great short hole.

Being an old and back in the day only having the back nine televised it was awesome to get a better feel for the front nine.

Only celeb type I saw was Dan Orlovsky.

I can't believe ESPN let Orlovsky out of Bristol. Thought he was contractually obligated to be on TV 16 hours a day.

Pretty cool! contrary to some, I love DP - met them at the Former Student Tailgate in SC at the Kenny Trill game.

So you got in line at 515 and everyone just kinda stands there in the dark until they let you in at 7? Just trying to figure out what to expect.

Yep. Just stand in line and wait.

5:15 is pretty damn early though. We got to the south gate at 615 and were still in the first wave that got in.

Yes you stand there till 7 and chat with other fans. We went in NorthGate and was about 40th in line and by 7 I couldn't see the end of the line.

Allowed us to get merch and ship it before lines got long. Shipping wait was an hour wait pretty quickly. We got it all done by time Tiger hit 1st tee

There's a secondary gate/rope as well that opens you to the actual course at 8am right? So if you don't hit up merch you can go straight to queue up to enter the grounds at 8?

We were let in at 7 and then I think they dropped the rope to the actual course around 7:29

We were back near 15-16 before 8am

So much pastel haha.

great pic.

Dang..was checking for hats and rings yesterday. We chair hopped a bunch just checking out the course

I made a comment to my wife on Tuesday about how many decked out tu fans I saw - burnt orange head to toe… I was actually glad that I didn't really see any Ags doing the same, the ones I saw had hats on.

I noticed the same as well. I had a titleist hat on with a small A&M logo on the side and my ring and that's it.

Hail Mary here...Is anyone gonna be there that wouldn't mind doing me a solid and picking up a couple things in the merch shop that I forgot?

I'll surely make it worth your while.

You could try looking for a lost and found number?

I probably can , no promises bc I don't know what our schedule looks like but email me lazurasdc at yahoo

I for sure helped them achieve that number Wednesday. Told my buddy that went with me I get to experience the Masters all over again find out what all I actually bought on Monday

Well very thankfully the weather cleared and another incredible day at The Masters! The pimento sandwiches definitely grew on me. Looking forward to watching from home this weekend and drinking cold ones from my Masters cup collection.

Celebrity sighting today was - Jelly Roll

---

you sure it was him? I feel like he blends in well with crowds.

Will do! I'm "at work" right now going through the 3,000 pics I took. I'll try and get a photo dump later today

Maybe not..I went from 3,000 to 350, now trying to decide between the last 50 on which ones to bring over. What's the limit on pics over here? haha

I wonder if LazurasDC was able to find those Masters Speedos
