Spring erupts for the beautiful game at Augusta National

Well, ok, Raider Fan knows Augusta National has both hot and cold water lines running underneath the vegetation to control the soil temp and, thus, the florid foliage to be seen during this magnificent tournament but what one can not believe after years of watching The Masters on TV is the first time the patron walks the golf course.

The DRAMATIC change in elevation on the course is simply impossible for television cameras to convey; it must be seen to be believed; the descents from Tees and/or the ascending fairways up to the dangerous greens (slicker than a three card monte hustler) are a wonder to behold in person.

If you love golf and you can finagle an invite or ticket, you have to go there for the experience of a lifetime.

In any event, amidst such beauty, my memory often punches-up this piece of music in the juke box of my mind
