Masters stuff you don’t see on TV: Guys in green shirts plugging some kind of measuring device into the greens

Continuing on with my “Masters stuff you don’t see on TV” posts is an interesting one.  Why are the greens so amazing at Augusta National Golf Club?  Perhaps this device has something to do with it?  Looks like something which perhaps measures the moisture in the green…

Some kind of green moisture measuring device?

Another cool thing at the Masters which those who haven’t been there don’t know about is the information boards.  These boards (pictured below) are all over the course and show where players are so you can go find Tiger Woods or whoever you want to follow.  There are usually Masters folks at the boards who will radio their fellow workers to inquire the exact location of a player on the course if you ask them.  Really cool!

Today is the birthday of golf great Seve Ballesteros, a golf legend we lost way too soon at the age of 54 back on May 6, 2011.  If he were still around, he would be 56.  Happy birthday Seve.  You are missed.

My Son

Speaking of Seve, some of you may not know that my lovely lass and I had a baby about 5 months ago.  His name?  SEVE.

Forget your pick to win… Who is your pick to NOT win the Masters?

I’m getting so tired of the repetitive golf blog and social networking subjects that I feel the need to mix it up a bit and ask something different!  Why ask you who will win the Masters when 12 billion other sites are asking the same question?  I want to know who you think is a guaranteed lock NOT to win the Masters? And tell me why?  Who do you pick to miss the cut?

While everyone else is posting shots of the holes on Amen Corner, I’m bringing you the hard-hitting blogging that Hooked On Golf Blog has become infamous for.  Today’s “Masters stuff you don’t see on TV” photo was taken by me, behind one of the Masters green concession stands.  I believe this one is near 16 tee.  They hide them in the trees…
