You never see golf on at a bar but when you do, you know its Masters Weekend. As the season opener, the Masters is an event that brings all types of fans to the game of golf and reminds us that anything is possible. What originally aired on a black and white screen has become the most accessible and viewable golf tournament in the history of golf. With the new capabilities of the Masters App including every player's scorecard, shot play-by-play and live feed, everything Masters is available at the touch of a button.
Fans everywhere are tuning in and on the edge of their seat anxious to see who will wear the next green jacket. So if you see someone screaming "GET IN THE HOLE" at their phone, don't be alarmed; it's the Masters.
1. Live streaming the tournament, even if it's an inappropriate time and place
Does this look familiar?
2. Trying to rush ship a Masters hat to feel cool and involved
You swore you would never spend $100 on a hat. But it's a Masters hat... it's different.
3. When someone goes for the green on Amen's Corner and lands in the water
4. Hoping someone calls into the PGA to make a BS ruling from the comfort of their own couch, sparking World War 3
Too soon?
5. When the player you're rooting for is on a bogey streak
6. The agony of watching the leader drop strokes because of stupid double
7. Constantly catching stares after reacting out loud to the live stream
Point and case, live streaming the Masters is dangerous.
8. Watching a player hit the green in two and three putts...
9. The question of the weekend: How does one hit a drive 400 yards, straight?
10. Treating Masters Sunday like a holiday.
On the final day of the Masters, anything can happen. It's the Super Bowl of golf, you just can't miss it.
11. Tearing up whenever a commentator mentions Arnie.
Thursday was an emotional opening day without Arnie, so it's safe to say that the Master's will continue to miss him in the years to come. His career brought joy to the game, and his legacy will reign on forever.
12. The thrill of watching 'til the end
If you've been keeping up, you've noticed how tough Augusta is playing this year. Going into the weekend, no one knows who's going to wear the next green jacket. There's a thrill that comes with watching every second of the event and being the first to know who will be the next champion.
Plus if you call it right, you earn bragging rights for the rest of the year. My bets are on Jordan Speith. How about you?
