Golfing Mecca

Last spring I felt lucky to walk and play golf on the same fairways that Tiger played at Callaway Gardens in Georgia. I thought that was pretty close to the top of the ladder. Tomorrow I will be walking the grounds of the Augusta National Golf Course and watching the first day of the Master's Tournament. I can't think of anything in the world that can compare in the world of golf with the shrine which is Augusta National. Dave and I are both incredibly excited just to see the course let alone see the best golfers in the world trying to play it. I have watched for years as those best in the world battled through this immaculate beautiful golf course, and I will be watching the other days of the tournament this year. Once last fall I was traveling to Georgia and got off the highway just to ride by the outside of the facility. I know that many others think I'm nuts to have such excitement over something like a golf course or golf tournament. I can't compare it to a trip to Jerusalem which would be the absolute best, a true pilgrimage, but for a golfer this is as close as it gets in the secular world. Our pilgrimage to this golfing shrine will be awesome. I just know it will be awesome.
