I enjoy watching golf, but it is a big time commitment as the golf tournaments are generally held over 4 days and are take place for a large part of each of those days.
My favorite tournament is the Masters held in Augusta, Georgia, which began today.
The Masters is one of the four “majors” during the year, so the stakes are higher than usual, and the golfer’s prize pool is larger than normal.
The tournament has a lot of history, and the winner gets the famous “green jacket”. The course is always in pristine condition, and it is easy to fall in love with the greenery of the surrounding countryside – this must be what heaven looks like?!
I say all this because I try to make sure I watch this tournament each year, or at least on the weekend. There is just something special about this location, the history, and the full field of the most elite golfers in the world that makes for a great watch on TV. One of my favorite golfers, Jordan Speith, is in the lead after day 1, which will make it even more fun to watch.
If you have never watched it before, check it out this year! There are all sorts of ways to stream it online, and they even have their own Masters app!
Well, you all now know where to find me this weekend!
