Masters Logo - Augusta NationalI’m going to be attending this year’s Monday and Tuesday practice rounds at the Masters. I can’t wait to be back on the grounds at Augusta National. Haven’t been since my first trip in 2010.  I’ll be in the Atlanta area Sunday the 1st and flying out of Atlanta on Wednesday.  Between then my only firm plans are attending the Monday and Tuesday practice rounds.

Masters Meet Up

Any friends or HOG readers who would like to meet at the tournament, I’m considering making a meeting place and time each day since we can’t use cell phones or PDA’s to coordinate online.  Perhaps a well known place like Butler Cabin or under the Isenhour Tree.

Augusta National Hole 13

Maybe we can meet here? Not a bad view...

Outside of the tournament there’s always the possibility of having a frosty beverage Monday or Tuesday evening.

Let me know your thoughts and if you have a hookup on lodging. Looks like some of my arrangements have fallen through.

Callaway Hex Black Golf BallsToday will mark my first test round with the new Callaway Hex Black Golf Balls. I only have a sleeve to work with, so I’m avoiding my home course, which has more hazards than many war zones in the Middle East.

A report will follow.

2nd And 3rd Articles For Utah’s Fairways Magazine Published

[brag] My Dad called me yesterday to let me know he read my articles in the latest issue of Utah’s Fairways Magazine.  Fairways is the official magazine of the Utah Golf Association, mailed out to 30,000+ members.  My Pops told me I did a nice job on the pieces, which makes me very happy.  If he likes them that is a good thing, since he was the sports editor for the Salt Lake Tribune for many years.  My issue has yet to arrive in my mailbox, but I managed to get my hands on another copy.

If you receive Fairways, be sure to take a close look at my articles.  Feature one covers Utah companies at the PGA Show, pages 26-28.  Feature two, bottom half of page 27, covers the Utah Section PGA’s attendance of the 95th annual PGA meetings.

Thanks to Randy Dodson, Chairman of Fairways Media, for the opportunity to contribute to a fine magazine. Since he’s had me do more than one piece, I’m assuming I’m doing something right…
