Man, I love this tournament. This is possibly my favorite weekend of the year.
I'd like to see someone like Sergio break through. I think Tiger will be there, but I'd be surprised if he won.
Any other fans?

Yep, I usually watch Saturday and Sunday since I work on the weekdays.

Random musings from an Augustan: I appreciate the tourism dollars. I saw a Bentley today with the Quebec license plate 1ST CDN. Ahead of me in the grocery store was an Australian family stocking up on bottled water. I would like to eat out soon, but I know better since the waits will be unbelievable, and when you finally get seated, you're handed a menu with prices 1.5 to 2x what you normally pay.
But I do love the tournament on TV. Truly "a tradition like no other."

I know that place is apparently full of hugely snobbish people, but I have to say if I could pick five courses to play before I die, Augusta would be one, really without a second thought. I've played some pretty nice tracks (Doral Blue, Torrey Pines and PGA West Stadium off the top of my head) but I'm sure they wouldn't even hold a candle.

The Masters has always been my favorite major, it should really be something with the return of Tiger.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Sounds like a typical Florida winter.

I am geared up for it as well. This will be the first Masters that I get to watch on a HDTV in my house. I know, I know. I am late to the HDTV game, but all of my discretionary funds had been going into my audio system for years.

I really wish I wasn't so tied up with so many things at the moment. I really, really want to just sit down and watch the Masters for all four days....
